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.

Pussycats should have taken the 3 points. Teams forget that 3 in the bag is better than 5 or 7 in the bush!.
98@ Scrumdown:Have a stiff one!
@ The_Young_Turk:
agreed
@ Just For Kicks:
That sounds dirty mate. Don’t know if Scrumdown is that way inclined
Ashley struggling to find form today…cummon Ashley..!!!
@ The_Young_Turk: you never know with these log leading Stormers supporters.
Lions vs Bulls…..ouch, can’t see the Lions taking it
CB wenne, hoe belangrik dit nog is in SA, beteken nie veel vir Super rugby nie, totaal ander reeks.
Game on again.
@ The_Young_Turk:Realised just after I posted it!
@ Loosehead:Have you seen the range of beers on the Stormers thread I have to taste if you all come up next month?
14@ The_Young_Turk:
Absolutely. Also with points on the board gives the team encourgement to keep trying. Tell that to Keegan too, he went for the corners yesterday very early in the game we lost it on their line. 3 points went begging. Not saying it would have changed anything, but we went without a score on the board for a very long time after that. Players lose focus too if they have nothing on the board. It becomes more individuals trying to get the score up on the board or ticking over. Saying that Bulls would not have lost to Stormers either. Spies went for corners on their first penalty too and lost it on the Stormers line as well. Instead of taking the points. Could have been a draw instead.
So you totally right, always take the 3 points when on offer.
FFs. Jantjies passing to the ball boy again.
Goosen off for Sias Ebersohn.
Sjoe, Leeus maak simpel foute, vodacom vlak.
Lions have come out with their pride at stake (pun intended!)
Geez, Pussycats again losing the ball in the final movement. Shame!
114@ Puma:Especially when the hooter has sounded
@ Puma:
Well put as usual by the Big Cat!
