Ag no looks like I spoke to soon, come on Cheetahs

So far, so good!
Ruan Pienaar will play his last game for Ulster tomorrow when they face Leinster in the PRO12.
Try Waisake Naholo, Landers!
Cheetahs 22 / 24 Highlanders
Nice touch by Johan Muller, Pienaar’s former team mate at Ulster:
“Former Ulster captain and World Cup winner Johann Muller surprises fellow South African Ruan Pienaar on the eve of the scrum-half’s last match for the Belfast club.
In 2014 forward Muller played his last match for Ulster after a four-year spell and travelled with Pienaar to the ground.
“We shed a tear on that occasion, and I told Ruan I would be back when he played his last match. I don’t think he believed me,” said Muller.”
From leading by 12 to being behind by 2 in less than 10 minutes, bit of a turn around it seems
Try Oupa Mahoje, converted by Zeilinga!
Cheetahs 29 / 24 Highlanders
Tomorrow’s game will be Ruan Pienaar’s 141st for Ulster. He has become a real fans favourite there and there seems to have been a feeling of dismay that Ulster have made the decision to let him go even though he probably would have liked to stay on.
Another try by Tian Meyer, Cheetahs!
Cheetahs 34 / 24 Highlanders
Try Ox Nche, Staat!!
Cheetahs 41 / 24 Highlanders
18 Minutes to go in the game.
Much better
9 Minutes to go… the lead is 17 points to the Cheetahs!
Carriem cops a Yellow card for the Cheetahs!
Landers held up over the line… 5m Landers scrum!
Try Tevita Li, Landers!
Cheetahs 41 / 31 Highlanders
Try Matt Faddes, Landers!!
Cheetahs 41 / 38 Highlanders
Landers right at the line… try!
Waisake Naholo again!
Highlanders win… right at the death!

Unbelievable look away for a bit and it ends like this. 3 tries by Highlanders in not much time in the end, at altitude must be very fit to end so strongly.
Naartjie pips battled damned hard to snatch that defeat from the jaws of victory.
FA BMT in Bloem.
Venter saying they were “unlucky”.
I beg to differ Mr Venter. You bottled under pressure and were k@k.
