The Cheetahs will again look to their massive pack – with world-class lock David de Villiers, a second row forward that would make many international teams, along with loose forwards Juan Smith and Heinrich Brussow, the key.

The Highlanders also have a strong set piece game – with Tom Donnelly and Adam Thomson the foundation on which this pack is built

    Teleursgesteld in Ctahs: speel so goed teen SA spanne, maar val (nog steeds) uit die bus teen oorsese spanne.

  • 186

    Should be a penalty to the Cheetahs for holding on and then playing the ball on the ground.

  • 187

    Dissapointing game by the Cheetahs. They could have won had they of taken the points on offer.

  • 188

    Sorry Loosehead, really wanted Cheetahs to win. Had them on my bru to win by 12. Damn feel sad for all the teams this weekend. Mine looked the worst so far.

    Now for Bulls they had better win and bring some pride to back to SA for all of us.

    GOOOOOOOOOOOOO BULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSS.

    190 – Loosehead, Yip Cheetahs could have won that. Pity. I know the feeling mate, it is tough. Look Sharks against Saders were awful.

    We all need to get behind the Bulls now. Hope they can win it and think they should.
