Thanks Hakwa. Ball-in-hand, this is one of the best teams in the competition; third top try scoring side last year. But lets be brutally honest, it was utterly shambolic defence that allowed the Rebels back into the game. I counted something in the region of 10-15 consecutive offloads for their second try!! Disgraceful!! We went through a period were they were iisolating defenders and get that offloading game going and it put us under massive pressure. Our defence needs to sober up quickly, Saders next week. But I will enjoy the win. You just know that other Saffer sides would have tried a kick-chase in that final period. Strauss was immense and Le Roux has to be considered the premier South African wing now. So many positives, but it doesn't often count when you throw all that endeavour away with sloppy play on defence.

WOW!!! What a gutsy win...Well done you good things.....it took guts, skill and determination. Why the yellow may I ask? Le Roux was clearly going for the intercept like he did when he scored an intercept try. Even the Oz commentators agreed that it was a poor decision.

Bloody Sky did not show that game - le Roux really seems to be a find and I see he is listed as a flyhalf!!!

I'm not sure how this all works on a MAC. You don't need to register, just download the torrent and work it through Utorrent. I'll look into this quickly. EDIT http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/mac

Fantastic win and well deserved. Strauss was again oiutstanding and Willie looks like he will score a lot more tries! Tha treserve scrumhald Piet van Zyl look suseful and Ashley lifted the team when h ecame on. Nice to see Coenie getting fitter. Brussouw tried hard but was bumped off the ball a lot. See he played number 8 quite a lot.

I don't get Davon being completely out and Johnson on the Bench for this weekend's game against the Crusaders! and also what's with the Rookie props! Intrigueing the changes - we will see how it plays out! Maybe they are saving them from injuries as they know the Crusaders will come out firing from their New Stadium and hurting after 2 loses in a row!

How v/zyl does not start at 9 for the Cheetahs is beyond me. He is so much better than Tewus - no bloody contest

Awesome win for the Cheetahs last weekend!! I am very new to watching super rugby (this season only), but one thing I do notice about the Cheetahs, which as already been mentioned, is with ball in hand, they are fantastic, and can penetrate....but the defence is no good, especially in their 22. Anyway, hopefully they can be inspired for the game this weekend. Go cheetahs!!

The Cheetahs need to box clever and are going to try to make sure they do not finish bottom of the SA conference, so I think they will target certain games to win. Finishing bottom of the conference could be curtains for them considering this whole Kings debacle.

In the game against the Saders which just happened, Now I understand the logic behind playing both rookie props without any reserve props - to have uncontested scrums in the 2nd half and therefore nullify the ref's influence scrum-wise! Can't say I much like the idea but I understand the cunning! Pity the Cheetahs kicked the ball out on the death - would have loved to see them run it - I think everyone was stunned!
