Reds (29) 41 / Cheetahs (3) 8 (Final Score)
The Reds hosted the Cheetahs at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane at 06:30 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.
The Cheetahs played stupid rugby, letting the Reds run at them from all over and making a plethera of simple errors.
The Reds were enterprising and red-hot, blasting the Cheetahs away with consumate ease.

Final thought…
The TOYOTA CHEETAHS were not like a Hilux Bakkie today, but rather like a Hi-Ace Taxi….. there was always space to let more tries in, whilst looking shoddy and lisping dangerously to the side.
Awesome display, and skills by the Reds. Cheetahs were undone by lack of depth, and also they allowed the Reds to play a loose flowing game. To be fair the ref was not flash, very inconsistent, and he protected avery weak Reds front row!!
Cheetahs will regroup, but they need more depth! A team that loses the caliber of Juan Smith, Adriaan and Andries Strauss, Frans Viljoen, Benjamin, and Burger will come unstuck.. Guts and glory can only take you so far!!
Go Cheetahs, go Sharks, Go Stormers and Go Bulls/Lions!!!!
Tyd dat naka waai of like toyota en die cheetah fans sulke uitslae?n mens kan net diepte sover blameer in die proses kyk mens die regte fout mis,die afrigting.
Ai Piet, nog steeds op die “Naka” wa?? Vraag vir jou. Het Frans Ludeke ewe skielik ‘n goeie afrigter geword, nadat hy niks by die Leeus kon uitrig nie, of is dit maar ‘n feit dat hy ‘n klomp begaafde spelers tot sy beskiking?
Robbie Deans? Was ‘n ster by die Crusaders, maar sukkel op die Wallabies te vorm, so is hy nou ewe skielik ‘n k@k afrigter?
Maklik om altyd die coach te blame. Duidelik, het die spelers en bestuur baie vertroue in Naka.
Of jy dit nou as ‘n verskoning sien of nie, diepte IS ‘n faktor.
Juan Smith, Frans Viljoen, Adriaan Straus, Andriess Strauss, Rayno Benjamin, Phillip Burger almal eerste keuses in hulle posisies, almal op die krukker lys… elke week ‘n ander kaptein, en losvoorspeler kombinasie?
Dan raak dit maar bietjie moeiliker of hoe?
Vat 6 van die Stormers se top spelers uit, en jy het 4 van soportgelyke gehalte, die Cheetahs het nie daai luxury nie…
