Last chance saloon, turnover please Cheetahs
Unconverted try by Saders will help my superbru, aargh what the hell, go Cheaters !!!
Less than a minute to go
Don’t let the saders get the bonus, guys!!! Hou manne hou!!
Hooter goes, Staat have possession
Why the fuck did Goosen boot it out?
Stunned!
What the Farkkkkkkkkkkk was that Goosen – From Hero to Zero. You complete prat
Good decision! They get a bonus and deny the Saders a bonus.
Why the hell kick it ???? Have’nt they watched some of the finishes in previous games ??? !!!
Wat de ? Goosen ?
Hard luck Cheetahs. Still get the bonus point so well done.
Eish! Not many agree, but was probably the right thing to do, to settle for the bonus point! Often they have been criticised for having a go, and then losing points. Great match! Good win ‘Saders! And great effort Cheetahs!
I have never in my entire life of watching this game seen that
@ The_Young_Turk:
Might be, but you can never die wondering…
Naas sou gehardloop het ….
Final Score: Crusaders 28 / 21 Toyota Cheetahs
@ bdb:
LOL…
Always something to build on at the end of a game hey Adriaan…
Wel, ek is bly ons het die Staat klaar in Bloem gespeel, hul gaan beter word soos die reeks aangaan, peak gewoonlik te laat, maar ‘n paar goeie spanne gaan les opsê in Bloem.
Hahaha, tweet just received – BossArthur-
@rugby_talk if Goosen was a cricketer he’ll be grilled on suspicion of match-fixing!
Nee jinne… it was if the Cheetahs conceded that they’ll never be good enough!
I am soooo disapointed in that last kick to touch
258: ja, en as hul 2 punte agter was, sou Naas van daar af geskep skop het en die game gewen het.
Did you see Ashley Johnson in the reply of Goosens kick out – he won’t be buying him a beer anytime soon!
That last kick was not like kissing your sister… it was like kissing your own freegin arm…
Useless like tits on a bull!
What does that one point mean for the Cheetahs… sweet blou nokkol !!!
Well, my Bru is reasonably happy… 2 points out
Well, over to the new thread…
Come on everyone, so Cheetahs kicked it out to make sure they got the bonus point. While have the point why not just keep it?
Cheetahs have done quite well so far on tour. One win and two bonus points from the lost games.
Good luck to them for next week too. They are upping their game and played well today.
@ Puma:Actually Cheetahs should have had 2 wins in Oz. The ref cost them a win against the Brumbies.
So far Cheetahs have done well. So well done to them.
268 @ Puma:
One never gives up, Oubaas…. never!
