Blues v Cheetahs

[ACT Crusader]

This could be the highest scoring game of the round if both teams play to their strengths. Cheetahs have selected a very exciting backline that love to shift the ball and straighten the attack.

Replacements: 16 Elandre Huggett, 17 Ox Nche, 18 Johan Coetzee, 19 Armandt Koster, 20 Uzair Cassiem, 21 Shaun Venter, 22 Niel Marais, 23 Clinton Swart

@ACT-Crusader weather not looking good for tonight, so might affect the scoring, I doubt the intent will change though

That's an understatement, just had to swim the kids to school.

[taniwharugby]

@Kirwan you guys copping it much worse than up here then!

EP drains pretty well though!

[Rembrandt]

Weather update? Last minute fantasy rugby picks will be dependent on conditions

[Tordah]

Cheetahs with an easy score in the corner after going wide a few times. Blues look disorganised.

[Damo]

I think Blues have looked ok.

Now Blues score fairly easily.

[Tordah]

exciting maul try to the Cheetahs.

[taniwharugby]

one of these games huh...

[Damo]

100 point game?

[Tordah]

Blues tried to do the LO the move the ABs did vs the Wallabies a couple of years ago where McCaw scored straight from the throw, but Cheetahs tackled the receiver. Then Scrafton scores a few phases later under the posts. 14-12 Bloos

TJ and Kirwan commentating. Bad vibes.

I hate refs that dont communicate - the players dont know whats going on.

Cheetahs inpress

[Tim]

Big not straight lineout throw from Cheetahs missed by ref.

More than likely.

[KiwiMurph]

Akira! Faiane looks the business.

[taniwharugby]

some optional soft defence at the moment

[Damo]

Was that grounded by Ioane? I think it was. Might have been worth a second look.

[taniwharugby]

@Damo yeah it was, but looked a tad sloppy

[Stockcar86]

Do I not understand the maul rules. I thought if you tackled the player with the ball, that was not collapsing

[KiwiMurph]

Maybe the ref should talk to himself about not communicating.
