Cheetahs (11) 18 / Sharks (6) 23 (Final Score)

The Toyota Cheetahs hosted the Sharks at Free State Stadium, Bloemfontein at 17:05 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.

It was frenetic, it was hard, it was brutal… and the Sharks finished with 2 players in the sin-bin but they won, by 5 points. 4 Log points for them, mission accomplished, against a game and determined Cheetahs side.

Scorers:

Cheetahs: 2 Penalties & 1 Conversion Sias Ebersohn, 1 Try Sarel Pretorius, 1 Try Riaan Viljoen

Sharks: 3 Penalties & 2 Conversions Patrick Lambie, 1 Try Lwazi Mvovo, 1 Try JP Pietersen
