148 @ Bullscot:
They are now, yip!
Constantly attacking now.
Handbags in, Coenie die Boef right in the middle of it
Northampton try came from a quick tap and go after Manu Tuilagi was penalized
Kings free Kick at the scrum, quick tap
Kings penalty…. come on slot it so my Bru can be spot-on…. hehehe
They kick into the corner though
If Bulls lose tonight the game next week will be a humdinger of note.
Another Kings advantage… penalty given… 5m out
156 @ Puma:
If the Bulls win, it will still be a humdinger…. hehehehe
Can the Kings score here?
134 @ grootblousmile:
Thought I was right.
PIET, I was right, you owe me a beer boet….. 🙂
Vleis Engelbrecht comes close….
Cheetahs pilfer the ball… and kick out.
Heinrich Brussow with the vital steal
Klomp dik meisies daar in swart….miskien moet hulle gaan help druk daar aan die skrum se kant!
In on the side of the lineout maul, advantage and penalty Kings
Into the corner…
9 Minutes to go
@ Puma:
Sure, my bad bruvva! One cold one coming up….
158 @ grootblousmile:
If Bulls win tonight then the pressure will be off for next week. If they lose… PRESSURE PRESSURE against our Bloem Bashers hey!
Really looking forward to that game. Cheetahs are playing terrific rugby right now.
Kings attack from the 22… but they concede a penalty to the Cheetahs on the 22
Sounds like Toby Flood has struggled back up after getting hit by a late tackle by Courtney Lawes, Leicester coach Richard Cockerill ver unhappy as he stormed down the stairs to say something, no card for the offence
Riaan True Blue Smit also on for the Cheetahs
165 @ Pietman:
No problem Piet. Will take the cold one though….
Obstruction by the Staat… but they come back for an offside penalty to the Cheetahs
Leicester 10/5 Northampton 22mins Ben Youngs missed the penalty kick standing in for groggy Flood following the late tackle
Boom Prinsloo on as well, looks like Brussow is subbed
Brussouw showing Heyneke a toffee here today.
Lappies steals the ball… and the Cheetahs gets a penalty to boot, quick tap
Absolutely great to see Cheetahs playing so well. Feel good for them and their supporters.
Not very good by Aviva Premiership who dont seem to have the live feed up on their site yet, instead they have a clock ticking down saying there is 24 minutes to go, must have confused the British summer time with GMT!
I see Adriaan Strauss has also already been subbed….
Kings penalty, quick tap by Watson
Kings now just inside the Cheetahs 22
