Doubt it will be as bad as against the Sharks but the Cheetahs need to and will take this one.

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

Cheetahs will be tired and the Rebels will want to show they are more than the joke they look like after the humiliation they suffered from the Sharks' raping and Beale's ego.

I'm still picking the Cheetahs for a win at home though; sure the crowd will turn out and carry the team even if they're tired from a long tour and no bye yet. Apart from Goosen's injury (which is a big blow fair enough) they are probably the team with the least disruptions ITO selections which is always a good thing IMO.

i'm also picking a Cheetahs win.

Rebels will win, they've been pasted in the media this week, the beale vs vuna world title fight and the cheetahs without johan hoofsit playing

Should think they win in on the field and not because of everything that is happening off the field, that's desperation talk

 

[InsaneAsylum]

What i'm trying to say is I hope the rebels use last weeks loss and off field dramas to channel some positive energy and beat the cheetahs.

no desperation talk required, if you don't have faith in your team, then what's left?

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Just hope the Rebels bounce back. Higginbottom has been cleared to play, so some good news.

[Draggs]

That is a terrible Rebels team.

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

Would've been much better off with O'Connor at first five and Woodward at fullback.

Why have they still not got any wingers in the squad? Kingi is constantly played out of position, and it usually fails miserably...

 

[Sker]

Cheetahs will hopefully rip them to shreds, get a bonus point in the bag. Above the Bulls in the logs...

 

[Darwin]

That is a terrible Rebels team.

That is a typical Rebels team

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Cheetahs will hopefully rip them to shreds, get a bonus point in the bag. Above the Bulls in the logs...

That would be something! Cheetahs have already had their tour and are on the verge of claiming the 2nd spot in the conference. Exciting season so far for the Free State.

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Well well. Riaan Smit tore a hamstring in the warm-up so they have Burton Francis taking his place.

Good to see Lourens van der Merwe being demoted to the side-line. Let the guy hold a flag, in stead of the whistle.

3-0 after 13 minutes. Burton Francis converts the penalty.

3-3 after 23. James O'Connor!

Now 3-6 after 27. Rebels leading!


TRY!!!! Hennie Daniller!!! Great attack by the Cheetahs and Le Roux has been phenomenal so far! Daniller crosses in the corner.

 

[Amobokoboko]

Just arrived, traffic jam. Didn't miss that much. Gooo Cheetahs anyway.

 

[Amobokoboko]

First try Cheetahs. Good offensive strike.

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Yes. Conversion is good as well. 10-6 close to half-time.

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

TRY!!! Raymond Rhule!!!

17-6

 

[Amobokoboko]

Another try for the Cheetahs, great running by Rhule.

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

They really have a chance to get a BP but they need to step it up.
