The Stormers travel to Bloemfontein for the penultimate pool match of the 2009 S14.
This match has no play-off impact, but does offer the Stormers the chance of not being one of the bottom two South African sides. A win by the Stormers will move them ahead of the Lions leaving the Lions and the Cheetahs as the bottom two South African sides.
Will the Cheetahs rise to the occasion for a derby?
Or will the Stormers’ young guns step up to the plate again.?

(Only coz I like the Lions more than the Stormers.) 😉
This is it.
The Punters has managed to make it through to round 14 of the LMS and is STILL standing.
Can he be joined by anyone? 7 of them have picked the Cheetahs.
I’ll be back later.
Where is wpw when you need him!
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS AGAIN!!!!
Glory Glory MAN UNITED!!!
Go Cheetahs!!!!!!
Yes Cheeatahs scores…
Only team on the park at the moment (oh and Joe P)…he is on the park at least too…
Cheetahs TRY!!!
Conversion good
7-0
pretorius scored the try
At this stage it is:
Stormers WHO?
Geez Dylan Des Fountian has pace….left the Cheetahs 13 and Bobo way behind (esp Bobo seems terribly slow)…only Nokwe being able to catch him….but too lil too late…
Cheetahs 7 – 7 Stormers
Watson palmed off Hendro
De Wall slots a penalty from about 534 meters out…
Cheetahs 7 – 10 Stormers
De Waal kicks one for Bobo to field into the in-goal area…perfect kick…even though he is the player coming at pace and Nokwe the one jumping from standstill Bobo does not have enough strength in his legs to get him high enough…Nokwe gets more than a head higher than Bobo (???? weird though Bob surely cannot jump….he def not good at basketball..
Nokwe does not catch it though and the ball goes over the deadball area…
Bobo seemed to have gotton a finger on that ans it was deemed knock on by blue 5 meters scrum to white…
@KSA Shark © (Comment 1) : No-one likes the Stormers surely!!
Joe P def the best 15 the Stormers have…by FAR
Those two blotched scoring oppo of the Cheetahs might come back to bite them in the poopy
even the fight was boring 🙄
Joe P runs right over Nokwe and scores….just as well as Bobo was lost behind somewhere again and Joe would not have been able to off-load to him had Nokwe held on anyways….
I am having what is possibly the best Chicken mayo sandwich i have ever made. 😎
Curried Chicken sosatie that wasn’t eaten at the weekend braai has been chopped up to make a chicken mayo sandwich. AWESOME!!!!!!!
Kobus Caldo is being demolished…

Cheetahs girls! 😳
collapses in a heap of hormones
@KSA Shark © (Comment 1) : One of my mates said at the beginning of the season that if the Lions finish in the bottom three he’s switching allegiances to whoever finishes the best out of the SA sides. 😛 I hope for his sake we can get through to the final.
