Come on Staat… one more converted try please!
Staat steals yet another Kings lineout
@ Cheetah4eva:
Phillip Burger het die Bulle op sy eie gewen….op Loftus…..vanuit die heelagterposisie het hy van die mooiste driee gedruk wat ooit op daai veld gesien is, sommer drie keer!
Kings penalty… tap and go, time is up
Game Over!
Final Score: Toyota Free State Cheetahs 53 / 14 Eastern Province Kings
Now tell me how the Kings recover from this rout!
… and I see all teams really bulldozing the Southern Kings in Super Rugby next year, mark my words!
This was by no means a full-strenght Cheetahs side, and there were errors and missed chances a plenty by the Staat….
Hier is darem maar HAAT onder somiges hier, die arme jong spelers daar in EP wil ook maar net n plekkie in die son he, ek dink dat Kaplan ook beinvloed word en hy was onregverdig streng teenoor een span. Maar nou JA wat help dit ek lig my mening , nes soos Cheeky beskuldig word so speel ons die man en nie die bal nie
Cheetahs win by 39 and by 8 tries to 2
Bloody hell, if the worst team in the CC put 50 over the watsons, just think what the Crusaders are going to do to them.
160 @ Loosehead:
92 / 3 might be a happy score… hehehe
Cheetahs turn on the charm for the long suffering supporters! Gave the Kings a good old rogering tonight! The scars will be hard to eradicate!
Whooooohoooooo Goooooooo Cheeeeeetahs!
That was a good evening’s rugby
153 @ Pietman,
Hey Pietman,how you doing?
Yes, Phillip Burger has scored some sublime tries. Not th best defender, but give him a sniff of space, and he will razzle and dazzle!
Even now, over 30, but he has still got gas!
Wel, lyk darem of die SA super spanne 2 ekstra af naweke kan kry. Maklike 10 punte. Maar nou sal ons nie meer kan moan dat oz die maklikste konferensie het nie.
164 @ Cheetah4eva:
Phillip Kakebeen Burger was good, some good tries… but gave away a massive lot too with some of the iffiest defence ever by a backline player.
His dad was a hard man on the rugby field.
165 @ leon:
Hahahaha
Gaan ons help op die Logs…
@ Loosehead:
Imagine what my Sharks would do? 😆
Boet jokes aside, with Goosen at 10 and brussow in your team it would have been 70-14
Castres vs Northampton on
I see Kokkerot is playing for Castres
well done Cheetahs, thats Kings out and no chance of entry into the CC
No ways in hell even at home they will beat the Cheetahs, NVM by 40 and a bonus point.
Watching Cockot play for Castres right now, man also wish he was still at the Sharks
Thanks everyone. The sad thing is that we should never have been in this situation.
Time for a large Glenliviet.
People, I’m saying Cheers vir eers… see you for the Wallabies / All Blacks game which starts at 12:00 tomorrow.
Gooooooi Mieliessssssss
168 @ Sharks_forever: it wouls be a p0esklap, as Coenie would say.
Hoeveel sterker kan die Kings wees as wat ons vanaand gesien het? Hoeveel ervaring het hulle super afrigters? Ek het nog nooit eers van doe nz afrigters gehoor tot die Kings hulle gesign het nie. Ek dink ook nie die nuwe spelers wat hulle gaan inkry gaan so groot verskil maak nie.

Matt Sexton was darem ‘n Crusader in sy dae.
So bietjie info:
Matt Sexton is a former New Zealand rugby union player and head coach of the Kings Super Rugby franchise, as well as the Eastern Province Kings Currie Cup team.
Playing career
He made his debut for Canterbury in 1991, eventually making 128 appearances in his 10 years there. This included him leading Canterbury on their 1994 tour of the United Kingdom.
He was also a member of the Crusaders Super Rugby franchise in their first six seasons in the competition, although he missed the 2000 Super 12 season through injury. He was also the first forward to score a try in Crusaders colours, when he did so in the 1996 Super 12 season game against the Blues.
In 2001, he joined Irish province Ulster, where he played for three seasons under head coach Alan Solomons. He also played for the Barbarians under Solomons in 2003 and 2004.
He then went into coaching, becoming the Academy manager at Canterbury (where he was the coach of the Crusaders Knights, the development squad of the Crusaders), the Tasman Rugby Union and was also on the coaching team for the New Zealand team in the 2009 IRB Junior World Championship.
In 2012, Sexton’s former coach at Ulster, Alan Solomons (then the Director of Rugby at the South African Super Rugby franchise Kings) renewed the relationship with Sexton when he appointed head coach of the Kings, as well as the domestic Eastern Province Kings Currie Cup team effective from July 2012 in a deal until the end of 2014.
@ grootblousmile:
Dankie. Wat dink jy van hom as coach? Ek weet die Crusaders van die vroee 90’s het maar gesukkel.
Just to show what a farce the kings actually are, how many players of colour were in the starting 15 for them tonight? And how many on the bench?
Paul Perez is a Samoan, so he can hardly be called a local, so the kings started with ZERO playets of colour in the starting 15, and only had 2 on the bench.
Is this the team from the region which promised transformation?
Hypocrits the whole lot of them.
Dik fokken swak!
If I had a kings jersey I would puke all over it.
Dalk judge ek die coaches en spelers heeltemal te vroeg. Dalk verras hulle ons almal nog.
@ leon:
Perhaps not.
