Go Cheetahs!
Time for brekfis.
Shame…good luck to the Cheetahs…but I don’t see them pulling this one off.
I watched Boots and All last night (first time in a loooong time) and Naas and Owen picked the Cheetahs to win this one…am I missing something?
No walter not missing much.
They just got it WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY wrong.
probably working on the principle that a team will very seldom go through the whole season without a win.
Who’s updating us…. 😯
I am was moving my TV
0-0
12min
Just give me a minute to get settled.
Lounge in a HUGE Mess 😆
Go Cheetahs!!!
quick trivia question, I see only one team managed to get zero wins in Super12/Super14 since the Super 14 started in 1996…who and what year?
Waratahs get to withinh 5 and cheetahs turn it over.
Clear with a kick
Walter
You sure there is only one?
Bulls

3-0 Wtahs
17min
oh and it was 2001 I think
Must be the Bulls!! 😈
Bulls were always the whipping boys!!
KSA Shark, yes checked it in the media guide…it was the Bulls in 2002, and that was the only year in the history of super rugby that it happened. Quite a few teams managed only 1 win through the years though
Would love to see a possesion stat.
Seems the Wtahs have all the ball
This year the Cheetahs and the Highlanders are still winless…so they could also “achieve” this record.
Remember entering some S14 quiz last year and that was one of the questions.
go and have a look at this site guys
http://www.pickandgo.info
select S14 and check out the page. Great page for history etc. At the bottom of the page you can even check out the reults after round “x” in year “x” really good
Lachlan Turner TRY!!!!!!!!!!!
ok lets just give the Waratahs a try 👿
Can you guess who finished bottom of the log in 1996, the 1st year of the Super 12?
Cheetah player shadowed him all the way down the line from well outside the 22 with NO attempt to do anything
Conversion over by Beale

2000 – Bulls and Sharks (oops)
2002 – Cats
2004 – Cats
2005 – Cats and Sharks
2006 – Force
Not a good show by the SA teams.
Hendrik Meyer takes it up well.
Cheetahs knock at ruck.
Wtahs turn over and clear with the boot to just outside their 22
Isnt that the year we (Sharks) whipped the Reds away in Oz? Cabous scored his hat trick!

Nokwe chips and follows.
Forces Knight into touch 5m out
Cheetahs take LO and maul

Hey TT! Had people asking me if I was the one on the right – and when I said no, they didn’t want to talk to me anymore. 😉
Brussouw goes over ref refers to the TMO.
Lachlan Turner trying to tune the ref while he is talking to the TMO.
“I’m talking here, you go away please” Well said ref
The Reds actually finished top of the log in 1996, and then lost to the Sharks 25-43 in the semi
No try. held up
5m scrum
On second thoughts – I should have posted a picture of her and more people would have talked to me! 😀

Try By Elsom

KSA is disorientated by his move across the lounge 😉
Tom Carter just runs through at will and the Wtahs are inside the Cheetahs half agaion
What’s happening? How did Cheetahs get more points?
I think he meant 17 – 7 to Tahs.
Ollie
DAMN RIGHT.
My TV used to be slightly lower than mid-eye level now it is slightly higher 👿
ksa moved his tv so he is watching the game the other way round and is seeing things in opposites.
I think it must be 17-7!
😳
I didn’t even see that mistake. 😳
17-7 Wtahs
KSA – are you having a few blonde moments this morning? 😉
Ek dink ek het hom aangesteek…… 😳
TT, ypu mean from KSA’s perspective now the Cheetahs are winning 😈
KSA – maybe you are psychic! It is going to be 17 – 17 soon.
and you are a ref… ha ha ha, are you this bad when you ref a game. did you go to the steve walsh school of referees.

Who’s powder?
Apparently you are Rob.
Come Cheetahs! I need a smaller margin lose here… 😉
On the other hand we need go forward

Remember that wonderful movie, Rob ?? Well Powder is my name for you! 😉
Half time
Waratahs 20 – 7 Cheetahs

Have you not seen the movie??? 😮
cheetahs need more than go forward they need miracles, a new coach, support, better marketing, better player retention and overall better administration.
Hey! I’m not that white! That dude looked like Nataniel!
that movie was shocking. 😆
They need to become the Cats again

Did Nokwe not score an almost identical try for the Stormers about 2 years back?
Wellington – A New Zealand man has been sentenced to community service after telling police he had been raped by a wombat and the experience had caused him to start speaking “Australian”.
Arthur Cradock, a 48-year-old orchard worker from Motueka on South Island, rang police on February 11 to say he was being raped by the slow moving Australian marsupial at his home, The Nelson Mail reported.
He rang back soon afterwards to say he was withdrawing his complaint against the wombat, a court was told on Wednesday.
“Apart from speaking Australian now, I’m pretty all right you know,” he told police in the second call.
Cradock pleaded guilty to using a phone for a fictitious purpose and was sentenced to 75 hours community work.
Prosecutors said alcohol played a large part in Cradock’s life, although his defence lawyer said he was not drunk on the afternoon of the phone calls.
come on Ctahs…(Battle of the Tahs )
Ctahs kick a HUGE kick only to get called back becasue they took it into their 22.

Stuff it up with a skew throw.
scrum Ctahs
PJLD
Not sure, but he has scored 4 from 4 on tour for the Cheetahs
So the ‘Tahs are leading 😆
Ja, Kal …but the Tahs might still catch up…
Bosman great step and Cheetahs gain valuable yards.
next ruck Vermeulen gives a FK away for playing ball on the ground.
The is the battle to determine who the real Tahs are.
I suspect the Blik-ore will have to use their full name in future.
Die grondwet van die Suid-Afrikaanse Rugbyunie gaan gewysig word om aan die nuwe Bok-afrigter die beslissende stem te gee in die kies van die nasionale span. 🙄
Seems to be NO urgency from the Cheetahs
20-12 Wtahs
61min
Its cool – this score suits me fine… 😎
i like the orange jerseys more than the white ones.
Where’s the commentator??? 🙁
KSA- where are the pool predictions? 🙁
KSA,
I think you can call the teams the Wintahs and the Concedetahs.
C’mon Tahs!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe the VloekTahs and the Wintahs
Who is kicking for Cheetahs? Missed conversions are costly!
I need the Tahs to get some more points
Cheetahs don’t know HOW to win in Super 14. They will probably ship a couple more tries before the end! 🙄
Wtahs break out from inside their 22 and get caught in the cheetahs 22.
Elsom made most of the running.
Wtahs knock on.
Nokwe tackled Elsom to force the knock
And immediately feel sick for saying that
HHHEEEE HAAAAA – I have moved from nr7 to nr5!!! 😎
Bosman is Kicking Villie

Think I should go get coffee more often! 😉
Shyte! I need the other Tahs to score 😡
Flip is the brother of the Stormer Francois.
They LOOK alike as well, could be twins.
Another narrow defeat for the tahs?

A try for the wrong tahs would be good now…dont even need to convert.. 😐
FK= Free kick
Never mind – 1 point or 4 points – the Cheetahs are going to score another quick try to win the game. 😉
Ctahs have the ball and then pass it forward ON the halfway line.

KSA,
You’ve got it wrong.

PK = Phree Kick
Wtahs Penalty 3m out for Ctahs laying on the ball.

PJLD

As ek oranje moes dra, sou ek ook nie wen nie. Cheetahs moet Nataniel kry om hul truie te design.
Vra hom sommer self – hy is mos hier..disguised as powder.. 😆
