There has been a little niggle during the week in the build up to this match.
FS Cheetahs boss Harold Verster acted like a spoilt little kid and threw his toys out the playpen when it was revealed that Bakkies Botha was to play for the Blue Bulls this weekend. Exactly what the “Harold Verster” head’s gripe was has not been revealed. One can only speculate that the reason for behaving like a “Harold Verster” has something to do with the Cheetahs having achieved relative success during the CC when the big unions had lost players to the Springboks.
The Bulls will be doing what they are known best for and bully the Cheetahs into submission.
Expect rising star Jason Jaftha to continue on with the excellent form he has shown thusfar this season.

Someone should tell Supersport that ifd they don’t have enough bandwith to handle the traffic to stream a game then they shouldn’t bother.
Seems like noting else on their site works while they do the streaming.

Kuun’s breadbasket has a whole in it.
He must be kicking himself to knock the ball on with a clear overlap.
Can someone share some light on why Mametsa is not in the squad??
Jaco VD Westhuizen on the wing?? 🙄

Ref overrules the ARs and asks the TMO for a confirmation if a PK from JLP is over or not.
Not clear so he goes with the ARs.
