Let’s see if Cheetahs can continue their winning ways with this first away game of their season.
Thought I read somewhere that Ox Nche has only come out with the Cheetahs for this game then he goes back to join the Sharks with another player coming out to replace him. Seems odd and a bit of a waste of money for the extra air fares, visas etc if it is so. Guess they want to have the best available team out there for the start of the tour.
Game ON!
Kick-Off by Connacht!
Connacht scrum, 8m inside their own half…
Connacht penalty, 4m inside the Cheetahs half.
Another Connacht penalty… just outside the Cheetahs 22… kicked towards the corner…. 5m lineout.
Connacht applied a lot of phases and a lot of pressure… then suddenly the Cheetahs break out and kicked far ahead by Rhyno Smith…
Now the Cheetahs apply the pressure.
Still no score, 12 min gone.
Try Connacht, Niyi Adeolokun!
