Cheetahs come out runnig as the second half starts. Good kick off leads to a penalty, and a line out 10m out

@ Just For Kicks:
Yip, they’re keeping the Staat in the game.
GOOOO CHEETAHS
Daai verdomde vrou wat soos a maargat vark skreeu is alweer langs die veld!!!
This is now much, much better by Cheetahs. Chiefs under pressure now, this is where they will tire.
Go Cheetahs.
Ai tog…..so close, yet….
Dang, and after such a great build up through so many phases, a loose pass
Dammit, that was close! Chiefs defense just hold out the Staat!
Downey off and Johnson comes on
Ashley for president!!!
Agggggggggg focus Cheethas.
Gee hulle gas As!!!….jou doring!!!
Now its the Staats turn to defend
Come on Johnson… Bliksem hulle……….hehe
demmit Vrystaat!!!!
/cry!!!
Try Chiefs, Arizona Taumalolo
Agh kak!
Dang, Chiefs finally score after intense pressure on Staat defense.
AJ has been forced to tackle continuously since coming on.
Take the points, CTahs!
Cheetahs get a chance to close the score a bit with a penalty
Come on Cheetahs. Only one try in it. Hit straight back.
Heck hope Beast is ready for next week and probably Bissie too. Burden was superb yesterday though, but these Chiefs players are a massive lot. Need to meet fire with fire. Play JPP on the wing too next week I feel.
17 – 9 is only eight points and CTahs reduce the deficit to just 5!
Goosen …yes!!!
12-17 after Sias slots it
The Goose come on for Sias, who has played very well
@ Puma:
Sharks are going to need a Big Cat to help out that’s for sure
TRYYYYYYYYYYY Johnson
