Staat get a get out of jail free card
Super Sareltjie not having a super game
@ superBul: Agreed..never liked Earl to begin with….which is the only difference. Sias really fcuked up out super rugby status this year. Nobody expected us to win it, but we have to show that we’ve improved. Well, with the help of Sias…..let’s just say…I’M NOT A FAN.
Lineout, 5m from the Staat line… Staat ball
Komaan Staat!!!
Al die panic buttons word nou geslaan.
The difference in Barnes and Sies,s kick….
Now the Cheetahs defence must come to the fore
Waratahs lineout, just outside the 22
Gooooo Staat
Inside the 22 now…
Staat scrum… time is up
Great work Cheetahs
Skrum strafskop ?
Penalty coming up
Penalty Staat!
Hacked out
Game Over… Staat wins…. wow
Wooohooo
Well done Staat, a win, not great, but a win, non the less
Tahs
Final Score: Toyota Cheetahs 35 / 34 Waratahs
@ superBul:
Luckily for STAAT, or else the ref would have to run for cover
Great win Cheetahs , not at all perfect but well deserved.
Played till the end.

Sorry, but I don’t agree….so disappointed at my own team. This team ran the Highlanders,Chiefs,Stormers,Brumbies,Hurricanes close…to pull of a display like this against the Warrathas….not good enough!!
Geez, that was nerve wracking!
Don’t know whether I should be happy or mortified
201: wen nog net die Stormers en Sharks, dan het julle ‘n goeie seisoen gehad.

Eish mate i love the Cheetahs if they run like this with the ball, we used to have the WP doing it, this should have been a much easier win though.
Whats up with the Waratwats, 3 more points would have been useless anyway , they are long gone anyway
“we used to have the WP doing it”
Vorige eeu ?
Nie geweet dat jy SO oud is nie ?
201@ bos_otter:I certainly didn’t mean great work for the match!!!! Just for keeping them out at the end there.
My Bru has been so bad, if it’s anything to go by, the Stormers are in for a hiding!!!!!!
