    @Frye yeah but I'd prefer to bank a win. A BP would be useful too.

    I don't recognise too many in that Cheetahs team but they'll have a point to prove after SANZAARs decision. Same for the Force next week.

    I'm sure Rennie is just managing player workload so if all goes well BBBR would be replaced by Bird early in the 2nd half. I know he is conscious of not overplaying Hika which is why the young hookers were used for extensive minutes in the earlier games.

    The weather is going to be good so the Chiefs need to cash in. The Chiefs have a good record in Bloemfontein but they have always been high-scoring matches.

    10 minutes played and the Chiefs have lost Mitch Brown, who failed a concussion test. Messam is on early.

    Too early to get worried, but the Cheetahs leading 17 to 0 after 17 minutes, is definitely not good enough from a Chiefs' perspective.

    Bloody hell, when are the Chiefs going to wake up? That's just plain weak defence there.

    There have been two intentional knock downs in this game so far; similar to Beauden Barrett's. No cards.

    @Rocky-Rockbottom said in Cheetahs v Chiefs:

    heard Cane actually ask him "truck and trailer?" on the maul try which looked, to me, definition truck and trailer. ball nowhere near the back of the maul

    Wasn't a try, local SA refs are biased

    Can't remember seeing the Chiefs run out with such a shitty attitude and such piss-poor defence.
    Where they were previously searching out gaps and space to run into, now they seem to be running into contact, plus they have missed a shitload of tackles. Farkin Cane needs to rip the skin off them at half time

    Yes well I was going to add about the ref, but really the Chiefs need to adapt to the refs rulings and quickly. There is enough international experience in that team to soak that upi and make the changes needed.

    @Crash wasn't forward.

    There's a ridiculous amount of obstruction from the cheetahs being let go though.
