@Franshark (Comment 23) : three soft second half tries cost the Cheetahs the game.
Disappointing!!! Cheetahs have far too many lapses in concentration every game. Week after week they let in the softest tries by any side.
Crusaders rub in the salt… With another try after the hooter.
Cheetahs 31 – 52 Crusaders
Full time
And just for fun another soft try to the Saders 52-31. Hope the Cheetahs tackle likr this when they play the Sharks.
@rhineshark (Comment 27) : that takes them to 40 tries conceded in 8 games.. eina
@JD (Comment 30) : agree 🙂
@Franshark (Comment 31) : Onfokkengelooflik!! 😯
@Franshark (Comment 32) : @rhineshark (Comment 33) : ja but check them when they play the Sharks, then they’ll play like champions.
