Agge nee ?
Daar is nie ‘n manier hoe die Landers in 4 minute 2 driee kan druk nie ?
Lead is 17… less than 5m in remain
@ McLook:
According to the Kiwi commentators they do. Their defence has been immense, and they have grabbed every scoring opportunity, haven’t they? You are a pretty astute man on rugby matter, lets have your view. Do they?
4 minutes to.
180: my ouma grootjie sou daar oorskop, selfs jy sou met bietjie geluk daar kon oorskop !
When the Cheetahs do play with confidence, they do look good. With this style of play, and barring any serious injury to the side, there is absolutely no reason the Cheetahs shouldn’t do well this year. They have every chance of coming near the top of the conference log.
Staat turnover scrum as they hold up the maul
Another turnover built on sound defence
Thats doubt Landers can come back from this. This is Cheetahs game, now hope they get their bonus point the deserve it.
Woody looks a bit frazzled lol. Age is a biatch
2 Minutes to go… game is solidly in the bag
174 @ McLook:Absolutely. They have taken their chances, and generally their defence and commitment has been resolute. When playing like this, it is up to the opposition to find holes. Highlanders have tried valiantly, but haven’t been able to.
Terrific game from Cheets today, proud of them after they lost bad last week, to come out and win like this is outstanding.
1 minute to go.
Landers penalty
So dit is 1 uit 4 vir SA teen NZ spanne die naweek.
Nou moet die Sharks, Stormers en Bulle net ook hul deel doen !
Game Over… no bonus point for tries though
And Landers don’t even get a bonus point….
Well done Cheetahs you were magnificent today.
YES! WELL DONE TO THE VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
My superbru looks good!
Whooooohooooo a shambles for my Bru, but I will love the win and the 4 points. Well done boytjies
Defence won over attack. What does this mean in terms of chiefs Stormers game later tonight?
Final Score: Toyota Cheetahs 36 / 19 Highlanders
197 @ grootblousmile:
It does not matter beating a top class team on their home turf is just magnificent. Well done to Cheetahs they were first class.
Great stuff. Well done Cheetahs. That will give them no end of confidence. Bodes well for a decent w/end of SA rugby, I hope!!!!
201 @ McLook:
Stormers could win tonight and I really hope they do. Don’t care about bru points either. Think I have Chiefs by only a few, but think Stormers with their defence will rattle the Chiefs.
203 @ Puma:
Yip.
Well done Cheetahs.
Lappies is my choice for Man Of The Match!
201 @ McLook: Defence alone will win you no medals, I am afraid. Stormers need to show a massive improvement in their all round play, and exceptionally so if they are to humble the Chiefs.
Cheetahs het al deur die jare sulke goeie verrassende wenne geproduseer, maar die groot vraag is nou – kan hul dit twee in ‘n ry maak. As hul dit regkry, dan sal ek begin glo hul kan in die top 6 eindig.
My Superbru is in sy mamma in.
Thank You Cheetahs!
