Hard to choose a team to support here. I cannot support the Cheeky Kings because of the way they were given Super Rugby status, but I am also anti Free State because of the way they stabbed the Lions in the back.
What are the rules if both games end in a draw?
@ Lion4ever:
Jaaaaa fok die rugstekery waarvan daar geeeeeen bewys is behalwe hoorse nie,ek is so gatvol daarvoor ek poefie sommer in my broek,hoekaom gaan julle nie so aan oor die feit dat julle sr partners die luiperds en pumas julle ook teengestaan het nie?
VRYSTAAAAAT!
GOOOOOOOO Spottedddddd Hiennasssssssss , oooppppssssssss i mean cheetahssssssssssssssssssss
With just more than 40 minutes to go before this match, what do you guys feel will happen in this game?
Will the Cheetahs run away with it?
Will the EP Kings win despite the odds?
My feeling is that the EP Kings will manage to be competative for most of the first half, but that the Cheetahs will win comfortably in the end, going away with the score.
That said, the EP Kings have come from behind several times this season to snatch draws or to just win it, so they must be fit and well conditioned to do so.

Hehehe
Glo jy nog steeds jou Cheetahs het nie teen die Lions gestem nie…. eishhhh
Die woorde “volstruis” en “kop in die sand” spring dadelik op in my gemoed!
Ek verstaan darem hoekom die Leopards en Pumas teen die Lions gestem het… die Goue Leeus het hulle ‘n hoop geld geskuld… en geweier om te betaal, gemoedere moes maar hoog gewees het daaroor.
(PS! Niemand kan jou lojaliteit teenoor die Cheetahs bevraagteken nie, dis gewis! Volpunte vir lojaliteit!)
O donner, Kaplan is the referee…. and I don’t think the Free State Cheetahs and their supporters trust him!
@ grootblousmile
Cheetahs gaan wen met 10+, grootliks weens hul fiksheid, spoed en ervare besluitneming op die vlak van Curriebeker- en Superrugby; ‘EP Kotsers’ sal nie daai ekstra ‘click’ kan bykom die laaste dertig minute nie.
(Ek het nie ontvangs nie, sal probeer kyk op vipbox, maar laat asb die ‘updates’ kom hier op R-T bruvva.)
10 @ Pietman:
Sal so maak!
Naka looks nervous…
Waar is die ‘3m$ man from The Planet of the Apes’…of het hy n besering opgedoen toe hy sien Henro Scholtz speel vandag teen hom?
Game ON!
@ grootblousmile:
Hello. Daar het die maul tekkle gewerk.
15 @ leon:
Hello Leon, hoe hang die balle?
Try Nico Scheepers!
Whoop, whoop!
Staat looking good already!
Cheetahs 5 / 0 Kings
Moer hulle Staat!!!!
If the Staat keeps possession against these Kings, the Kings will cop a heavy beating tonight!
Staat must concntrate on their own defence as well, that has let them down heavily this season.
Ahh, turnover scrum for the Staat, maul held up
@ grootblousmile:
Lekker man, lekker. En nog ‘n maul tackle wat werk. Hmmm.
Great Staat scrum… penalty Staat, deep in their half though
22 @ leon:
Ek gaan bietjie saam met jou dophou hoeveel van hierdie “maul in die lug hou tackle” gevalle werk… dit sal interessant wees
Staat hot on attack, 2m out…
Tryyyyyyyy Geldenhuys!
Cheetahs 10 / 0 Kings
Eina, hoop die Kings het ‘n ander span vir die super 15
I think the Cheetahs are going to roll over these overhyped Kings like you would roll a mielie!
Kings scrum going backwards like they are in reverse gear!
Turnover scrum Staat!
Hi guys,
EP going to get mang-ed if the keep giving possession away.
