Willie le Roux overdoing the chippie now over the backline, O’Connor reading him like a book
And the “promising young flyhalf” of the Chietas continues his good form…
@ Just For Kicks:
Ciao Kickers, Buona Pasqua to you and the family too.
Try Raymond Rhule… very well done by Robert Ebersohn to send him away
Cheetahs 17 / 6 Rebels
Great break by Ebersohn and Ruhle does the bizness.
Nice try. Sorry about the Bulls match, when things are going against you, bitter pills like that make it harder to swallow.
27 Minutes to play… now’s the time for the Cheetahs to nail it down!
Rebels penalty, just inside the Cheetahs half
Argh, Adriaan Strauss knock on the counter-attack
Another Rebels penalty, on the Cheetahs 22, right in front
A few penalisable offences leading up to that penalty from both sides
Cheetahs 17 / 9 Rebels
Super Sareltjie subbed
Last week O’Connor was nowhere in the game against the Sharks, this week he’s featuring heavily
Rebels butcher a certain try
I somehow would have expected to see more spectators at the stadiums, especially after the Cheetahs good run of form. Really sad to see so many empty seats
19 Minutes to play… and it’s only an 8-point game
Maul held up by the Cheetahs, their scrum to follow
Perhaps the are all in Deben for the ‘Bunny-Chow’ holidays
Wonderful hands
Tryyyyyyyyyy Willie le Roux!
Cheetahs 22 / 9 Rebels
3 tries down, 1 to go
Strauss without doubt the best hooker in SA at the moment. Bissie is going to have his work cut out to fill the Bok position.
There’s my 13 points for Bru though…
One more Staat, one more!
Pretty blatant, and well deserved yellow.
Deserved yellow and now the Staat can run up the score and pad their points diff.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. Strauss at the forefront again
And it’s the bonus point.
