Cheetahs really stepping on the gas now, try Burger (the other wing!)
Conversion missed, 42 – 20 Cheetahs
Griquas up in possesion and territory, but not making it count, and another try to Cheetahs from lineout ball
Simple conversion 49 – 20
@ The_Young_Turk:
Try vipbox/tv, many links there bru, just be patient and let the ads run through. I am on there now, working well.
Both benches empty now
Try Noble, Griguas pull one back
Conversion missed, 49 – 25
And another to Griquas – a late twist to this game, try Stef Roberts
@ Pietman:
Ja, i always use it, but they had only one non-working link. Just gone on again and found a link, thanks.
Conversion over, Voigt, 49 – 32
Griquas on attack again, but may have left it too late, only a minute left
Great performance by the Cheetahs, considering their players out injured. I even gave Griquas a 3 point winning margin, which will cost me some points on Superbru, but I am ecstatic! I can make up that, and for a home semi, I gladly sacrifice bru points. I dunno why Blades is getting all het up about the Cheetahs points difference? The Cheetahs have huge points adv over the Cheetahs, they just need a 5 point on the log. well done Cheetahs
Hooter goes, Griquas trying for one last try, have a penalty
It’s amazing that Sarel was never snapped up by a bigger saffa union. Now we’ve probably lost him to Oz.
Griquas 5 phases in 22, still going
And another try, Griquas, Sarel Pretorius. I really rate this little scrummie
Conversion goog, final score 49 – 39
And now what can WeePee do, Bulls laid down a challenge last night, must win with a bonus point to guarantee a spot in the QF’s
Sharks need a 5 log points to secure a home semi! 4 points will not be enough. The depth for the Super15 for the Cheetahs looks ver good.
