About as one-sided a game as you’re likely to see this year.
Will the Cheetahs keep their play-off ambitions on track by stuffing the hapless Leopards?
Or will Chaka Willemse’s man take heart from an improved showing against the Sharks last week and pull off an unlikely win? (Yeah, right!)

right. When’s kick-off?
about to start
let’s see how many tries Mapoe scores
it’s training in Bloem
@robdylan (Comment 4) : 😯 my family there will be pleased,
Tiedt lining up a shot.
Why does that make me think of tequila? 🙂
3-0 to the Leopards
Johnston drops a regulation bomb and a player plays it offside. Another penalty
stand by for another titty-shot 🙂
missed this one. Still 0-3
Deon van Rensburg TRY!!!!
beaut of a grubber from little Monty set it up
it’s 0-10 🙂
now a kickable Cheetahs penalty. Hands in
has JLP got his kicking boots?
it’s 3-10
Tiedt misses another
Pottie lining up another shot now
no he’s not… sets up the lineout instead…
nice… Cheetahs try to set up the drive and get blown for obstruction. Go Mark Lawrence!
what a tool
Cheetahs starting to get into their running now, but making some pretty poor decisions
now Pottie goes for goal
6-10
Meyer Bosman – what an ordinary player
the ball is like a cake of soap now
Bom Samaai called back when he was clear… but only Lawrence saw the knock
Cecil Dumond – what a flyhalf
Potgieter finally scores under the sticks
De Bruyn lines up the conversion, cos Pottie has done his shoulder
13-10
Louis Strydom on at 10
Johnson bursts through for the 2nd try
20-10
Meyer Bosman – what a tosser
and that’s half time
since nobody’s actually following, I’m going to enjoy the game and just post the final score
@robdylan (Comment 36) : i think no one expected live updates, theyve been scarce lately 😉 well done Cheetahs
When does the end of year tour start, are we going to have a Superbru for it?
@robdylan (Comment 3) :
How many did Mr Mapoe get in the end?
@JarsonX (Insomniac) (Comment 37) : hey – everyone’s allowed to take a holiday – including me 🙂 I’m back well in time for the business end of the season.
@Salmonoid (Comment 39) : None! One-hit wonder 🙂
