Hmmm now this one is a dilemna do us Bulls fans hope for a Griquas win which keeps up off the bottom of the log but further away from the 4th place for semi-finals or do we want Cheetahs to win to put us at bottom of log for now but keeps us closer to the 4th place??? Oh well not great to be in a position where you are hoping for other teams to help you out but hey maybe a draw will be the best result for us. GO CHEEQUAS!!!
1 @ BullscotBok:
Meant to elaborate …maybe a draw with NO bonus points for four tries by either team will the best result, its that close that if both teams go away with 3 points from the game it would be no good and possibly worse than one of them getting all 4 or 5.
@ BullscotBok:
I think Cheetahs will be on a roll here today.
@ Piet-Springbok-Jan:
…after last Saturday’s unfortunate and narrow loss against the Bulls (I meant to add).
Cheetah4eva will be your Captain for this one.
Hello all, I have been dumped in the deep end to keep all you passionate rugby lovers, and bloggers in line lol.
Enjoy the game and all I can say is Goooooooooooooo Cheeeeeeeeetahs! Oh and as an afterthought, thank you God that I live in Nelspruit, and not in Dirtbin!
Yesterdays match was as close to mud wrestling as you would ever see. As Loosehead would say VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
6 @ Cheetah4eva:
Sink or swim… sink or swim…. hehehe
Following reports in the media, that Cheetahs talisman and local hero, Juan Smith, is probably going to end his illustrious career in France, all I can say is, that Juan has been a great servant to Cheetahs and Bok rugby. He is a legend, and has always been a role model. Respect Juan! I would have loved to see you lead my beloved Cheetahs into battle again, but I guess, the new young brigade are moving in? Thank you to your years of loyalty and dedication. A scarcity in modern pro sports indeed!
I’ll be leaving for Pretoria at about 14:10, so will only see the 1st 10 minutes… but the PVR is set to record this match, the Bokke Test, the WP / Lions game… and of course don’t forget the Pumas / All Blacks clash at 01:10 tonight late!
Cheers GBS,
Nothing a snorkel, goggles and a few cold frothies can’t fix lol.
Enjoy your trip to Moftus, at least with Cheetahs Wunderkind at 10, you can look forward to a great match lol

Great counter ruck, advantage Cheetahs.
