Good luck Cheetahs and I really mean that. I know if Cheetahs lose it gives my Sharks and Stormers a chance to get to the play offs if we win. However, I think the Cheetahs deserve to go through to the play offs. They have played well this season and only really fell apart in two games. Against the Chiefs and Stormers. The other games they have played well even the ones they lost.
So Go Cheethas!
Goooooooooooo Cheetahs!
OK, my chores done, EFT’s done… given enough money out for 1 day now… hehehe
Game due to start in 8 minutes, so charge the drinks and shuffle up to enjoy this game here, with me as your captain, steering the ship.
Let’s have a busy thread, one that is on fire, hopefully like the Cheetahs will be today.
Right, going to get my butt to Loftus and have a couple on my near miss with the Lions tour and hopefully see a bit of rugby
Enjoy the games all, and I hope my Strompies can get 4 tries for a change
😀
Blues out on the pitch…. Cheetahs coming out now
4 @ nortierd:
I’m only jumping in my speedwagon immediately after this game… will have to low-fly to Loftus
Game ON!
Obstructive running by the Cheetahs, Blues penalty.
Sorry, Staat penalty… advantage was played… shot at goal
Cheetahs 3 / 0 Blues
22 Drop in for the Cheetahs
Try Gibson-Park, Blues… in under the sticks
Blues 7 / 3 Cheetahs
Knock Willie le Roux…. eish man
This is looking like it can be another wide open game.
4 @ nortierd:
Nortie,
I have joined both your CC and RC bru pools. Now put on your black and white when you go to Loftus……
Cheetahs looking vulnerable on the edges of the field on defence
Great Staat scrum, walking with the Blues
Forward pass by Willie le Roux after a good break by him
Le Roux can go from really brilliant to very poor sometimes. Reminds me of Cooper. Both brilliant then poor.
Let’s see what the Cheetahs do on the Blues scrum….
20 @ Puma:
Yip, he a bit of an enigma….
Blues scrum penalty, against Coenie die Boef
Rhule can’t take a high kick… he’s regressed badly this season
22 @ grootblousmile:
Goosen much the same. Brilliant then does something daft as well.
Brussow holds a maul up… Staat scrum
24 @ grootblousmile:
That is where Mvovo has improved his game. Getting really good under the high ball.
25 @ Puma:
Can’t agree, but Goosen is injury prone… just as bad in my book
27 @ Puma:
Bjorn Basson still the best left wing under the high balls, both his own and on that of the opposition
