 I wonder why Sarel is sitting on the bench all the time. Naka must be careful not to play his guys every match. Go Cheethas sink the rebels!

 Because Sarel does dumb things when he is on the field. Like throwing the ball to the opposition when trying to take a quick line out.

Cheetahs with a two games played advantage but they haven't played very well and better watch out here with the Rebels.

Hmmm... they played badly against the Lions and still should have won. But they didn't.
Against the Bulls they played well. Very unattractive rugby due to very bad weather, but they played the correct gameplan and did it perfectly.

 My prediction that Rebels will be competitive this year will be tested tonight...


This is shaping up to be a cracking game I think - both teams have aggressive forward packs  (at least that's the feel we get from the new look rebels) -


A favourite of mine Ol' Higgin is back from a shoulder injury and looks pretty keen to make this year happened for the rebels...


HE was is career best form before getting injured last year so will be interesting matchup in the forwards and with Cheetahs on first leg of travel I think REbels will give this a good shot...

I expect the Cheetas to win this one. The Rubbel have lost too many players, and unless some of the new youth show some potential it will be hard to see them winning. At some point this season they may miss Drunken Beale & O' conner

 Weehee. The Rebels are playing freaking awesome in this match. Their back line passing is inch perfect and the Cheetahs are being blown off the park after 20 minutes. Still early days and the Cheetahs can't be written off but it's not looking good for them at this stage.

Rebels are playing very well, agreed on the backline passing its really strong. Cheetas are not even in the game at this stage. They have lost a few rucks so not very effective at the breakdown at the moment.

 Rebels are killing the Cheetahs now. Cheetahs have a good team but you wouldn't know it based on this game so far.

 It is surprising the score is 24-14 to the Rebels, it feels like it should be about 40-15. Given the Cheetas missed 2 easy penalties to start the game, it is unbelievable that hte Cheetas are so close.
5 minutes left, and the Rubel are trying to get a bonus point. Some dummy just kicked a drop goal...

Congratulations to the Rebels.  That was a very entertaining match. MOTM for me was either Higgenbottom or the Rebels halfback (?).

Pretorious was piss poor when he came on at Scrumhalf, Well done for the Rebels though this was maybe their best performance so far in the tournament. Just goes to show sometimes better to develop a team from scratch than try buy the drunken beales, oconners, Cipriani etc

Congrats Rebels, very well played from start to finish. I never underestimate this side, but I definitely wasn't expecting them to come out like that. I kind of expected that they would target this game as one of their best chances for points. back to the drawing board.
