Backing up the Cheetahs for this one

 

[Tekadus7]

Come on Cheetahs! Make it five in a row!

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

I wouldn't mind the Cheetahs winning TBH and they're probably in with a very good chance as well. Should be an entertaining match.

 

[Amobokoboko]

Stormers opening the score with a penalty.

 

[Amobokoboko]

Great chance for the cheetahs, pity they couldn't finish it.

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Try!!! Stormers on attack, Kitshoff loses it in contact, Ebersohn boots it ahead, Taute goes back to get it but is tackled by van Zyl, Daniller recovers and from there it was 1 phase to the side of the field where Ebersohn scores in the corner! Scintilating stuff again from the Cheetahs! They cannot score ugly tries.

7-3

 

[Amobokoboko]

Try Ebersohn, wicked pass by Strauss. Go Freestate

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

I know it's still early, but with the Cheetahs already having played their matches overseas, they could be a team heading for the play-offs.

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Looks like Taute tore some ligaments in his knee... Ai. Not looking good!!!

 

[Amobokoboko]

Mean tackle by Leroux on Taute.

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Not really a mean tackle. Just a guy tackling low. His leg is just not supposed to bend that way. Unfortunate, but nothing wrong with the initial tackle by Willie le Roux.

I feel he will be out for the rest of the competition.

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

TRY!!! Juan de Jongh makes it 8-7 with a conversion to come. TMO to make the final decision

 

[Amobokoboko]

Try Stormers

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Another try by JdJ!!! Ridiculous because several offsides were missed.

 

[Amobokoboko]

Second try de Jongh

 

[Amobokoboko]

Common Cheetahs, defense

 

[dasNdanger]

Mean tackle by Leroux on Taute.

Good lord. Poor guy...not good hearing him in pain like that. I can't tell if it was his femur or knee - ice on the knee it looks like.

But I wouldn't say it was mean. Things sometimes go sideways even in fair hits.

[Amobokoboko]

Try Pretorius? Sloppy Clearance by the Stormers.

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Try Sarel!!! Just snatches the ball off Groom who was about to try a box kick!

Cheetahs leading 17-15!
