@Franshark (Comment 1) :
Cheetahs will give the Brumbies a good game!
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 2) : a lot of inexperienced players that have not played much rugby oversees, first game gonna by tough, but with the Cheetahs you never really sure 😉
@Beet,Hendrikp and the Goosen fan club
I hope Johann Goosen has a good tour last week he was badly exposed by the bulls superb defence.
He would be such a great attacking force behind a bulls dominant pack.
He turned down Meyer twice whom knows he may just accept a third offer from the bulls.
It’s no secret at Loftus Goosen is their number 1 target to replace Morne Steyn.
Good luck Cheetahs have faith guys show some fighting spirit.
Good work Justin… time to finally make that Super Rugby debut. Long overdue!
I think the Brumbies will be too much for them. Jake will have a plan for all Naka`s little tricks.
In the old days we had Jan Boland Coetzee, Baksteen Nel, etc.
These days we have “DoodP**s Oosthuizen”

Hahaha!
Cameron Jacobs looked good on Saturday. He’s a slippery bugger. Hard to get a hold of.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 7) : The other guy just broke Coenie’s fist with his face. That’s all that happened.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 7) : ?????
