The Toyota Cheetahs and MTN Lions did battle in Super Rugby at Free State Stadium, Bloemfontein at 15:00 SA Time.
The home side were too good for the upcountry visitors, and 23 unanswered points in the 2nd quarter of the game, coupled with excellent second half defence was enough to give the home side the 4 log points, taking them up to 3rd in the SA conference, and 8th in the combined log.

well in all honesty, i dont care who win this one … just hope some guys will put up their hands for higher honours later this year
but
for the sake of my superbru,
let me just add:
VRYSTAAAAT!!
Scrumdown will be your Captain for the game.
Gooooooo Cheetahs!
Goooo Cheetahs. If they win with a bp, they could climb to 8th place
…..and up to 3rd on the SA conference log
this whole conference system is a joke … see the brumbies in the overall standings is THIRD (they’re on 18 points) which put them IN FRONT of the highlanders (on 22), hurricanes (on 21) and the bulls (on 20 with a game to play)!!
how they (the aus in particular) get things like this implimented is beyond me!! hope the inclusion of a 16th team will rid us of this nonsense!!
5@ Ashley:
Totally true. How we were suckered into accepting it is a joke. Hope after 2015 we revert to the old format. It worked and was totally fair too.
May the best team win here today.
Today hope it is Cheetahs.
@ Puma:
Ceainly is mate 🙂 gie gie gie
Certainly*
See you guys later…. like I said earlier, Scrumdown is your captain for this one.
@ grootblousmile:
later!!
I think the Cheetahs should win, but they better not relax against the young Lions …
Tough game for the Lions.
‘Tahs had a good tour.
Poor crowd in Bloem’.

Good stuff, had withdrawals since the last match – even had to watch a bit of IPL. So bring on the real stuff
Game on.
Where’s the crowd?
Goooo Liooooons!
Moer the useless Pussycats stukkend, Cheetahs!!!
Sterkte aan albei spanne, mag die beste span wen. Ek sal die underdogs ondersteun, Leeus !
Cheetahs hard on attack here
Jantjies clears.
FS wasted a golden opportunity there.
VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
What?
Poles from F’ING far out.
Anyone got a live stream to the game?
Anyone with a link? Can’t find a feed anywhere on the web
