[TRF Mr Fish]

Interesting that they've opted for Rathbone over Tomane - looks like they aren't going to be drawn into playing the Cheetahs' game.

 

[SomeOke]

Well I can barely keep my eyes open but lets do this. Camaaan Cheetahs!

 

[Amobokoboko]

I just got up, kick off 20 min.

 

[Amobokoboko]

Try Cheetahs common boys

 

[austingtir]

Looking promising for the Cheetas so far. The brumbies dont really have the X factor players they've had previously in playoffs.

 

[Sker]

I can't watch...

It's too tense

 

[lynam1104]

Cheetahs scrum under some serious pressure.

 

[austingtir]

Christ this games turned into a mess! Cheetas need a bit of a miracle atm.

 

[austingtir]

Huge kick coming up

 

[austingtir]

Brumbies so lucky there!

 

[travel4football]

a game of inches!

 

[lynam1104]

Thought that was going over, now I have no idea to support next week I have equal dislike for both the Bulls and Brumbies.

 

[dudeabides]

That was a close one, going to be tough for the Brumbies in Pretoria.

 

[Sker]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....

Still proud of the guys though. Next season we'll be back with a vengeance

 

[easy2288]

Brumbies form has dipped since Lions break. They lost to Force last week and struggle to win this week. Dont think they can make it through Bulls in Pretoria. Should be Bulls Crusaders final

 

[smartcooky]

Lucky Brumbies, just scraped through!


Interesting thing I just realised about the qualifying matches; in both cases, the matches were between teams that never met in the regular season

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

Bit disappointing that the Chiefs have to play the higher ranked team in the Crusaders in the semis... What a cock up.

 

[InsaneAsylum]

Solid effort by the cheetahs, been great all season. Brumbies need to lift their game if they want to pull off a miracle against the bulls. Chiefs v crusaders will be epic
