go cheetahs 🙂 give them hell boys
Tahs 3 Cheetahs 7
4mins
Cheetahs 2nd try….
Either the Tahs are really poor or Cheetahs are damn amazing on attack
Tahs 6 Cheetahs 14
13 mins…. 😐 what is this world coming too…Cheetahs playing better overseas…. 😆
I am amazed for a guy of Strauss’s build (carries a nice boep) how he gets around the park.
@Just a Fan (Comment 5) : someone pinch me
@Bokhoring (Comment 4) : But then they go on to allow the Tahs to slice through the defense with ease. Fortunately a Tah knock on the line
Some real poor defence again leads to Waratah try
Our tahs 14 – theirs 13
@Bokhoring (Comment 10) : 😆
The Worrytahs getting way too much ball
Worrytahs getting away with obstruction there. Try awarded regardless of TMO checking
Prop makes contact with defenders in front of the ball carrier prior to try being scored. TMO rules valid try 👿
Their tahs 20 – ours 17
So obstruction is legal now? 👿 🙄
That was a shocking decision
For SB sake I hope the score remains the same…..but what the hell….go cheetahs!
And???
20 all
How much time remaining?
23 – 20 in favour of Worrytahs – 18 minutes to go
Ref is rubbish. Worrytahs getting away with murder at the breakdowns
Goosen fluffs a fairly simple penalty. Still 23 – 20 convicts
Rhule scores
After Willie le Roux created the opportunity with a lovely chip kick and regather
27-23 in favour of our tahs
27-26
Some really good skills from Cheetahs except for fwd pass on Worrytahs 22
Cheetahs win. 27-26
Would have been a travesty if the real cheats have won after the blatant obstruction at the try
super bru back on track baby 😎
Phenomenal work Cheetahs!
Lekker Vrystaat! 😎
Unbelievable! Well done Cheetahs….
My SuperBru run just got destroyed
Pity Willie le Roux is so-so on defense. He is such a creative player. Popped up in the flyhalf position many times and always caused the opposition trouble
@Poisy (Comment 31) : 😯 I am definitely last in every pool now…..*tears*
@Just a Fan (Comment 37) : I was 6th in the win the Beats pool, now I’m about 30th, two games in a row killed me.
David Campese laying into the Waratahs – no mercy there..
217/228 in Sharksworld…… 😳 😥
