Really apart from acentre and Lock I see no problem
Cheetahs 17 / 7 Lions
Fuck, I hate working weekends.
Homefor a shower and clean clothes, then off again.
I see that the Cheetahs b team is holding the Lions team, AND THEY SCORE!
I also see the Bools supporters trolling the Cheeatahs, nothing changes.
Lionel Cronje with a drop goal attempt… missed right
Cheetahs scramble on defence… Lions attacking again
Good counter-rucking by the Cheetahs, bad ball protection by the Lions on the deck
@ grootblousmile:
AI said, things aren’t always as they seem so early in the season. You guys lost to the Kings, that battled to secure a 1st Division trophy!
Plus we smashed their S15 side last year anyway.
93 @ Loosehead:
Yip, Cheetahs B team holding the Lions C team well… hehehe
@ Loosehead:
Howdy Loskoppie, yeah the (boss) forgot how they got their asses handed to them by the Queens, and are now beating their drums from the hilltops lol
Agreed working on a Sat sucks!!
97 @ Cheetah4eva:
You guys should worry… hehehe
OK, enough of making you guys worry… there is absolutely nothing to worry about….
… as I say that the Cheetahs defence leaks again and Stokkies Hanekom scores for the Lions…
Brilliant try by the Stokkies Hanekom.
I have Cheetahs by 13! Still need 3 more, and then a holding pattern lol
Cheetahs 17 / 14 Lions
Buuger! Should have kept my mouth shut
Tryyyyyyyyyy Volminck… Lions take the lead
Fucking hell, another try by the Lions.
Michael Bondesio broke the Staat open like a tin-can…
Lions 21 / 17 Cheetahs
Lol, GBS sounds almost ecstatic, when the Lions score. Chillax, GBS it’s not like you guys have to play the mighty Cheetahs first lol
109 @ Cheetah4eva:
Hell, it would have been nice if we did… hehehe
109 @ Cheetah4eva:
Somebody must give you guys kak… hahaha
On the serious side, I far prefer the Cheetahs to any other SA side or Franchise, after the Bulls.
@ grootblousmile:
Normally I would agree, but given your current prop injury situation, best you rather play the equally weak (prop wise) Bergbokkies 1st lol
@ Cheetah4eva:
Lol, we like to dish it out, so we take it on the chin lol
Tewis De Bruin is kakker than Rickie and Bolla.
Penalty Cheetahs, on the Lions 5m line…. Lions get a team warning
@ Loosehead:
Lol, that is the ultimate insult! When I get likened to those two sacks of shit, I rather retire lol
114 @ Loosehead:
Janee flok, how the Staat stay with Matewis and keep backing him is beyond me.
Matewis injured and subbed
Lions scrum under pressure… but the Lions get a scrum penalty.
111 @ grootblousmile:
Fokkof man, our supporters club is full.
