Blues vs Cheetahs under way..

Hi Brycy. Blues are putting in the effort but the maul was lost. Blues look bigger for sure & are hiting the line hard.

 Cheetahs miss the penalty. Blues have to convert dominance into points.

 Hey JW,...Kaino had someone outside him so a try has gone begging earlier but could  see some good running rugby with these teams hopefully..

 Hope so Brycy but so far Blues put in effort but no result.

 ...all tied up with the Blues hot on attack...

 Yes, better from the Blues with one mistake.

...end to end stuff...will be a lot of tired players at the end of this  

 try to Hendrcks off an initial mistake by blues. Blues need to be less hectic so they don't make these mistakes.

 ...Hendrix gets a double... Willy Le Roux having a hand in both tries...a real ding dong battle..

 The conversion missed so not as bas as it could have been.

 Kaino has had some really good runs.

 Great try to the blues, kick should go over!

 Blues in front 

 ..Blues get their nose in front with some great handling skills from Faumauina...always good to see the front row boys scoring tries...

 West score for the blues but they are checking to see if a pass was forward.

 Ruled forward but still great running and passing rugby.

...Fair try to West but TMO rules forward pass...based on the suspect camera angle he had...looks like the Blues might've got ripped off there..

 We are having a braai and have guests!!! Somebody please console Cloudy at the end of the game! Hahahahaha
Gooo Cheetahs

 Beautiful play by Blues but Braid drops it as he crosses the line.

...Blues butcher another try but looking the better side by far ... 

 Good try Cheetahs off a quick penalty. 

...Pretorious doing some hot stepping...think I might've had him in my Fantasy team so all good if he gets the odd try..anyones game for the taking...some good counterattacking rugby on display..

 Blues will have to keep their spirits up, the Cheetahs will tire out.

 Another knock on just before the try line.

Blues miss kick.

 Kaino scores the try & well deserved!

...Awesome try...Kaino having a good game leading from the front...  

 Blues ahead 21 to 19

 22 to 21 Cheetahs in front. Questionable call.

...one point ball game...whoever scores next should win it..  

 Off side Cheetahs, penalty kick is good. Blues up by 2. 74 minutes on the clock.

...will we see some Willy Le Roux magic at the death ? 

 ....Blues will have to be careful not to concede any penalties...too late...

 Cheetahs get the penalty kick up by 1 point.

 ...good game...more grey hairs for JK

 West misses drop goal. Blues gave it all they could & came up short, it was a frustrating game for the Blues for sure but they showed they have the ability to win.
Sorry Cloudy, no win for the Blues today.

To be quite frank I did not give the Cheetahs a chance to win this game.   They have lost too many top players after last season and I did not think they would get even two wins this season.       To their credit they did better than I expected and has some really good youngsters playing for them.   After beating the Sharks in Round 1 and now the Blues In Round 3 I think teams playing them should be careful and not expect a walk-over victory.  
Kaino had a massive game and deserve to be the MOM.   

 The facts is justice was done. The blues player who put his elbow into Booms face will no doubt be cited. It should have beena red as Mallet said but nothing happned and the blues scored thereafter via a rolling maul.Cheetahs other lock is useless. Uys is okay.
Cheetahs squad looks to be paper thin.Yes ou maaaikie the loss of Strauss, Nyankaneand Labuschagne to the bulle and the injury to Lood has severely weakened their squad. Brussouw will come back to lend a hand. Benjamin needs to come back as well from the Blitzebokke.However what happens when Naka has to play his second string?Coenie waa ver ygood around the park and not bad in the scrum agai nst old man woodie woodcock.
My condolences to Cloudy!
