115 @ Loosehead:
I agree… go back to Loosehead, Coenie!
Come boykies we need the bonus point
Gee 104 tackles by the Cheetahs, and yet the lead by 18 WOW! All those lambasting the Cheetahs defence, I accept your apologies
Hore subbed
Good play Ben Smith.. slippery customer isn’t he?
Cheetahs keeps on kicking possesion away.
Jeez, I’m moeg this morning.
Woke up at about 02:00 with my head bloody busy with all sorts of business matters, could not get back to sleep till 05:30. Was just about to give up and get up when I finally fell asleep again.
ek dink ekt gister so ñ klein bietjie meer gedrink as wat ek gedink het. cheetahs 30 highlanders 12? not ñ fok! nag julle, ek ga maar weer slaap!!
Agree with the kiwis here, why the heck does Naka want to take off Sarel when he is having a absolute brilliant game? Daft really.
I am really enjoying Marshal’s commentary
127 @ McLook: Difference between NZ and SA, NZ, no matter what position they are in, still have the confidence in themselves and thus keep the ball in hand. IN SA, we still lack the confidence and take the easy option of ball to boot.
Good hit by Nyakane
Still just tackling. Come on Cheethas put them away.
Lappies has been magnificent today
128 @ grootblousmile:
Happens to all of us, go have a swim that will wake you up.
How good is it to see a South African 12 using skill and not just the crash ball to get over the gain line?
Interesting that the commentators give the scrum edge to the Cheetahs.
Kom Cheetahs, moet daai bonuspunt drie kry.
Unneccesaary kick by van zyl
131 @ Cheetah4eva:Yeah, generally their rugby commentary is the best in the world. Knowledge of the players, rules and teams, a nice BIASED impartiality intermingled with subtle humour. Good stuff.
132 JFK agree. Big problem in SA rugby. Lack of believe and preparedness to change your arm.
Nou roep die Landers vir Bruce Lee in om te kom help ?
Kick now.
Just keep the scoreboard ticking
Kick the points.
Kickable penalty
Penalty Cheetahs…
Cheetahs forwards laying the foundations tonight, on attack and on defence.
That is go for points.
