    I like the Cheetahs Currie Cup uniforms better.
    The Goose is loose no matter what uni though.

    Am I biased, or are the Waratahs
    getting away with that superb
    Down Under way of obstructive
    running?
    One line-out was so crooked it
    almost went straight to the 9.

    Well done Cheetahs!
    :support:
    Not defending well against all those
    inside passes, but you held out!
    Great tries by Rhule, the Ghanaian.

    I have to admit I stopped watching on 37 minutes because there was a show about air disasters on Discovery that was more interesting…

    Glad the Cheetahs pulled it through..

    Americano is probably drunk after a good performance by Willie le Roux.

    No such luck Morne :D
    I did watch from the DVR though.
    No one is SA rugby sparks scoring opportunities like Messerschmitt Willie. It’s not even close.
    The interesting thing about it is its done through his opportunism & linking. Best current distributor in the game. That touch of the pooch kick that got Rhule away was simply sublime.
    In tight Int. Tests – The Messerschmitt would always be lurking looking to filet open teams with his nose for the break.

    His gathering from kicks & his ability to link by putting people in the correct space at the right time makes this guy…World Cup Willie.

    Andre Joubert wishes he was Messerschmidt…

    Glad to see commentators finally sit up and pay attention.

    Drove past the stadium before kick off and about only the punters you usually see for the Tahs turned up with large sections behind the poles empty.

    What a shitty ref, he really gave the Tahs lots of love like the Kings have been getting.

    Sorry Ashley but it was obstruction and a double movement.
    I still dont think I get the obstruction laws. If the player is running directly in front of the player with the ball and makes contact with the defender, the attacking player then darts through that hole that the defenders was in???

    Still dont know what Sarel has to do to get the nod, even from Bryce. Maybe his pass is a little delayed but for at lest 4 years he has been the best attacking scrumhalf we have.

    Well done Cheetahs beat a side who even had the ref with them.

    I thought Super Pretorious’ race was run after being coached by that Super-Ghoul Micheal Foley.
    But he transcended that & is making his case.

    A Bok side with both SuperP & Messerschmitt Willie?

    Yes Sir !
