Landers desperate in attack now
Still the scrambling defence has been good for the Cheetahs. Methinks I can start celebrating lol. BTW, I have been already (hic)
seconds are certainly a little longer in the land of the long white cloud!
High tackle by Brussow…. penalty Landers
Why take Ebersohn off?
Treeby has done his Kneeby!
Hat trick try for Poki
Cheetahs 33 / 19 Highlanders
Brilliant try Poki, but it’s a liitle too late. Cheetahs have closed this game out
Come on Cheetahs
Is it time for the Cheetahs to let the game slip yet?
Try highlanders. They are making all the play. Does the Cheetahs deserve to win?
Cheetahs penalty, what will they do now on a 14-point lead?
Now is the time to go for the bonus point try?
Skop vir die hoekie en druk !
Ok, better to seal the win
Cheetahs 36 / 19 Highlanders
