To our Cheetah supporters here. Well done to your team, they were superb today.
@ grootblousmile:
Yes I agree, he was immense. sarel was giood to, but Lappies was omnipresent
@ grootblousmile:If you want me to do the 6N games, I am around later
209 @ McLook:
Moenie worry nie, myne en meeste ander s’n ook
@ Loosehead:
213 @ Just For Kicks:
Please, yes… I will do one of those combined Articles for the 2 games today!
209 @ McLook:
Mine is too.. lol.
206 @ grootblousmile:
Lappies and Sarel could share mom both were outstanding today.
207 JFK. Yip, Stormers need to step-up their ability to pounce on mistakes. Cheetahs defended well but with an attacking mindset. This seems to be lacking at the Stormers at the moment.
Time to pour a good solid Orange Juice… and then mosey on over to the next game thread
Now for Jake’s prodigies.
Congratulations Cheetahs what a good win over there, bouncing back nicely from last week, as Ally McCoist would say SHUPERB!
@ grootblousmile: Cool.
2 @ Cheetah4eva:
Hello Cheetah congrats on your teams win you must be chuffed and thumbs up to you for calling it before it started.
66 @ Cheetah4eva:
Ag no man does this mean that actually didn’t think they would win and went against them on Bru???
well done my boytjies ons weet mos wat gebeur as julle volgens julle poyensiaal speel,moer trots op julle,en aan DIE beste 10 in die land 8 uit 8 is puik nou nog net jou skoppe uit die hand uit om aan te werk
@ Bullscot:
Thanks Bully, I expected a better performance, but not such a comprehensive win, in fact I went Highlanders by 6 on bru. But heck I am chuffed indeed.
@ Bullscot:
lol,logic dictated a landers win. but that is the beauty of rugby, and once again highlight how close the teams are. And it makes picks on bru a lottery actually
Cheetahs could win 3 on the road this year. They play Tahs and then Force. They could beat both those teams and good luck to them hope they do.
