cheetahs vs lions thread

didnt goosen only play one pre season match???

i think goose man missed the cheetahs first 2 pre seaosn games, but my port soaked mind might be worng.

 He hasn't injured his leg atleast

Hey Win, I think Commentators said he played 120 of rugby before 

sadie always look unhappy, regardless of whether he does something good or bad.

120 minutes 

Trevor struggling with the scrumming? overweight as well... such a waste of talent  

penalties are killing the lions, they are literally their won worst enemies.

match would be so much closer if not such bad discipline.

 Plus rhule does not look comfortable under that high ball! 2 times he has fluffed it and was saved a third time by willie, willie seems that he is more relaxed now and yellow card for jean cook.... 

pretty stupid form cook,

joubert is having an awesome game, hope this level of officiating continues throughout the season.

62mins, chhetahs 17 lions 15.

chhetahs are the more dominat team, but their lead says otherwise.

 Lions are keeping the score close, they are still in it. Especially with the yellow card.

good passage of play from the lions stringing some phases together.

sarel prestorius u goose, lolz, :oP

entertaining passage of play, but jeez some real poor option tsaking and skill executions.

prestorius won the doos award though with hsi wuick lineout throw, LMAO, :oD

 This game looks like the first game of a season. There are so many mistakes.

Looks like Cheetahs have lost a fantastic player in Ebersohn and have replaced him with another in Venter, good recruitment Free state! 

goosens elbow injury means we wont see him til september.

get well soon goose man, and thanx for scrweing up my teams, :o(

Goosen got an Elbow injury 

@dr win,

exactly, its why i dont understand why only saffa teams are playing.

they will have a slight advantage in round two, which is bad news for the hurricanes who are playing the sharks in durban.

cornell hendricks is having a blinder IMO.

whats with all thses chip kicks, jeebers what a waste of possession .

75mins, cheetahs 20 lions 18.

close game.

 Yeah, I picked hendricks so that was a luck choice.

is riaan smit in the cheetahs squad for 2014???

he would have been a good replacement for goosen.

lions drop goal for epic rnd 1 win???

Hendricks had good game but what will he do against a tougher team?  

 Solid fundamental rugby beating the flash

well done lions, freaking epic and i didint i just call it like 5 mins ago.

NZers always know,

LMAO!!!

 79 minute drop goal! fuck! game over i think! 20-21

 Wow, shows what can happen if you keep the score close.

tough luck cheetahs, but well done lions, bravo, :o)

 Clearly not a great game because of the mistakes but the drama was there in the end & there were some good plays and even passages of play. Congrats to Lions fans!

Too many errors cost us as well as gifting possession with the chip kicks. Naka has got a lot to sort out. 

@shezza,

chip kicks gifting possession was a two way street.

sad result for the cheetahs, b ut dr win is correct, 1st game of the season and plenty of cobwebs blown out.

this is going to happen to the majority of teams in their first spXV game.

looks like im the only south african here today and got to say that was a pretty boring game with so many mistakes and shit until the end which i have to say im heart broken for cheetahs 

warren whitley looks like my flatmate when i first moved out of home in NZ, :o)

those missed goal kicks from the cheetahs were pretty shocking though.

reminds me of sias ebhersons poor gola kicking vs the highlanders a few years back.

Goosen converted the harder kicks but missed the easier ones. I really really hope that his injury is a minor one 

 yer that last pen was awful i mean he rushed it a lot and it was awful!!! 
whats your boys prediction for sharks bulls game?  

 "interesting, de jager matches lady elizabeth cm for cm and kg for kg". a comment by the clealry concerned saSUE of the Uchica clams!saSue consider our young locks like Etzebeth, Do Toit, Willemse and even Jaque who is playing a very good game at 7 with a HUGE workrate .

@beeno,

clearly concerned??? o_O

brother storming ed, u have mistaken concern for genuine admiration, i didnt realise how much of a giant ol de jager was.

in saying that, lady elizabeth, stephanie du toit and jacque du plesiss are impressive youngsters coming up the saffa ranks, so congrats my friend.

but we all know ur going to need a lot more then a few big boys to stop the NZ rugby empire from taking over the universe,
