Masaga is too much of a handful for the Staat. Staat just hanginging on by their fingernails at the moment.
Damnit, the Chiefs have a good backline.
Good work from Hercu
Much better defence by Cheetahs there. Cheets lineout now.
Goeie skop deur Sias
Come Cheetahs, get the intensity, and focus back up again. Chiefs looking very dangerous!
90@ Just For Kicks: Fanks.
Daniller looks off his game a bit today
Nice clearance kicks by the CTahs. The booming boots are keeping the Staat in the game.
Too many missed tackles means the Cheetahs are just piling the pressure on themselves
Masaga is a monster!
VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
Brilliant break by van Zyl, pity about the knock
Pass die fcking ball my flok!!!
Wat het Os gese ?
Nice Le Roux.
Jeez that Masaga is a big oke. Think Sharks should play JPP on the wing next week and bring in Bosman to 12 and shift Whitehead to outside centre. Might be something to consider.
Staat lucky to be only 4 behind at this stage. Hope the rugby gods keep smiling on Bloem
101@ The_Young_Turk:
Snap.
Big strong much like a Lomu?
Nothing in this game at the moment, Cheetahs have come back nicely, just need to cut out the small mistakes
Who do thr Chiefs play next?
As I say that, Brussouw concedes the penalty
Maybe the thin freestate air will soon kick in 🙂
Great mauling by the Cheetahs
VRYSTAAAAAAT!
Cheetahs is n nice team to watch, they simply play a nice game, with a lot of heart.
110@ Loosehead:Charkies – in Deben
This must be really frustrating for the Chiefs
Good work by the CTahs to disrupt Chiefs from the line-out. Chiefs made a mistake by not taking the 3 points.
mu ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaa
As dit die halftyd telling is kan Cthas gelukkig voel, goeie uittrap halftyd dan gaan dit beter in die 2de helfte.
