Scheeper’s slots the conversion, and Cheetahs have a slight cushion, and with a man down, Griquas will be hard pressed to win this match.

Was daai hoog of nie nie seker nie
@ bean1:
tee hee, titter titter
@ The_Young_Turk:ROFL!
The action still helter skelter as the clock runs down. Griquas knock on, and the Cheetahs have the opportunity to close the match out. they were close to geting the 4th try and a bonus point, but not to be.
Another sublime break by Rhule, man this lad, is growing in stature!
87 @ bean,
No worries, I am also one to support the underdog, and any improvements to Griquas, ultimately benefits the Cheetahs in the S15. Ironic ain’t it?
That doesn’t absolve you from your spanking though.
Eish and we have a good ol fashioned barney on the other side of the pitch. Nobody can say we are kissing cousins lol.
Rhule rules – again. Surely, it is just a matter of days, before this lad makes the step up. Not another wing comes close in SA at the moment, in my book.
Great bonus point try
Jihaaaaa, Cheetahs may have scored their 4th and bonus point try, subject to a TMO decision!
Farking TMO’s haven’t been kind to us Cheetahs in the past, so I am not optimistic at all. Cheetahs should bring a blue strip onto their jerseys, they certainly seem to get the rub of the green.
Whopp whoop tr is awarded.
Cheetahs lead 35 – 20!
Cheetahs 30 / 20 Griquas. Final Score
Cheetahs manage to subdue a game Griquas side.
Final score 35 – 20 to Cheetahs as Scheepers pulls the conversion wide.
Great result for the Cheetahs which sees them move back into 4th place on the log. Thank you Kickers for updating the match article for me, and also to all the bloggers that contributed. Go Cheeethas!!! Go Boooooooooooookke!!
Dang, wish I had watched this match, the WP/Lions was just rubbish. Right, bring on the Bokke!!!!
Cheetahs (17) lead the Griquas by two log points, with the Bulls last on (14).
Still lots to play for as only the Lions and sharks have a bit of a cushion.
Lets migrate to the Boks thread folks.
MOM Marcel vd Merwe. Pity this boykie is moving to the Bulls. i really rated him, and I was looking forward to seeing him and Coenie in tandem! Anyway, that’s water under the bridge, maybe the new signings do the trick for the Cheetahs.

Better late than never congratulations Cheetahs. Good to see the old central franchise alliance in action, such a late try to allow the bonus point win for the big brother in the union
