Game ON!
Cheetahs starting strongly…
Landers penalty on their own 22
More ou Grote. Hoe is die klippies die tyd van die oggend?
Good defence by the Cheetahs so far
Oooooo so close Cheetahs
Almost a Cheetahs try…. Sareltjie just could not gather the ball…
Cheetahs penalty, right in front on the 22, against No 8
Thought the Highlander were a bit flat on defence.. Good play so far by the Cheetahs, lappies looking good
Cheetahs 3 / 0 Highlanders
Nice easy kick for Goosen to get started, can only do his confidence the world of good

Cheetahs defence around the rucks is abrasive, nice two on one driving

Helloooo BiDiBiDi
Cheetahs very fired up, lets hope they can keep that intensity throughout the match
Morning Webmonster and Bidibid, and eveyone else
Advantage played for the Landers
Long advantage ends in a penalty, easy one
Cheetahs sal moet bal in hand kry, gaan nie heeldag so kan verdedig nie.
Penalty coming to Highlanders, but great hit on the Highlanders in the backline, who was that Sadie. GBS will be blushing
Off the posts… Landers regather
.. and another Landers penalty, offside against Goosen.
Kick to touch
Brilliant defnce by Cheetahs, and then turn it into attack
Cheetahs get a welcome relieving penalty
Goed druk verwerk, moet nou bal behou.
Whoooohoooo Cheetahs weathering the storm very well. Alot of old toppies in that highlanders pack, they will have to be very fit to maintain this pace. brad thorn 38, Hore 32, Parangatai 32
