Cheetahs 29 / 13 Blues
Just about 5 min to go
Blues done and buried now… out of the play-off’s.
3 Minutes to go in the match.
Staat will end up on 54 points and 6th place so will play number 3 on the log. Who will that be?
Try Boom Prinsloo!
Bam!
Cheetahs just rubbing it in now…. nice!
VRYSTAAAAT!
Cheetahs 34 / 13 Blues
Can the Cheetahs get their bonus point try in seconds?
VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAT!
No, they can’t… but they are in the play-off’s, and the Sharks, Stormers and Blues are OUT!
Final Score: Toyota Cheetahs 34 / 13 Blues
The 6 Play-off spots have now been decided… just the order in which they will be, still needs to be decided.
So, 6th spot qualifies on 54 Log Points (Cheetahs have 50 Log points now plus the 4 Bye Log points for next week).
OK folks, I have to leave for Loftus, Stormersboy will be your Capatin for the Stormers / Kings match… see you from Loftus.

Also to Cheetah4Eva
Well done to your Cheetahs. All the very best for the play offs. My support will be behind your boys. Good luck all the way.
Standing Oveation here for Jaco Peyper, whoever it was who thought having him control the Blues two games in SA was a masterstroke, they never stood a chance..
first the Lions/Kings to assist SA teams, now the refs are instructed also?
really sad day for rugby this…
@ nga puhi:Not sure I understand, Blues were outplayed in both games and have blown hot and cold all season any way. Think Bulls/Sharks game was much more controversial in terms of reffing, no consistency.Stormers Kings game was chaos, ref should have been much stricter.
