Cheetahs smash Griquas

Cheetahs smash Griquas

24 Jan 2009

The Cheetahs cruised to a 57-7 victory over Griquas on Friday.

Danwell Demas and Corne Uys scored a brace apiece as the central franchise racked up nine tries in all. Coach Naka Drotske will be pleased with the cohesion of the backs, who haven’t had much time together as a unit.

The performance of the forwards was another highlight. Heinrich Brussouw, Juan Smith and Frans Viljoen gelled well as a loose trio which bodes well for the testing Super 14.

Cheetahs - Tries: Danwell Demas (2), Corne Uys (2), Juan Smith, Hendro Scholtz, Richardt Strauss, Bjorn Basson. Conversions: Tewis de Bruyn (3), Meyer Bosman (3).
Griquas - Try: Jonathan Mokuena, Conversion: Riaan Viljoen.

    #2 K9_BaasPatrolliehond: Me too. I hope all the SA teams make more of an effort in their home games against NZ/AUS teams this year, and stop handing out free candy (log points) to them. We don’t have to be that accommodating!

    I get the sense that some SA teams target the other SA teams as games they can win and go all out in the local derbies. But then roll over at home against the likes of the Blues, etc.

    Predictable. Why Freestate never really perform in the S14, I dont really know. Maybe the Bloemfontein boys really have a problem being away from SA

    i’m keen to see meyer bosman @ pivot, if he impresses he might put himself in a good spot to challenge for the boks flyhalf berth…

    Have to agree as well. Not that we want handouts or freebies. But 1 try and we could have had 2 teams in the semi’s.

    Difference is…….. the Brokebacks have always had truck load of Marque Players.

    Sometimes, I am struggling to recognise the names of 3 or 4 players in the Lions and the Cheaters. I think they do well with the talent available.

    Highlanders the same. Very difficult for them.

    Yep, if NZ are one team over what we can handle given the exodus then the Highlanders are going to be where it shows

    This from the Dominion Post Reviewer:-

    “It is hard work having to put this concert in to words so I’ll just say something I have never said in a review before and will never say again: this was the best show I have ever seen.

    And I would have to agree with him.

    Is anyone watching this Obama thing?

    This is crazy stuff. I think they are struggling to separate the reality of leadership from their endless conveyorbelt of manufactured nationalism

    Tom Hanks just said “For the people and by the people”. I have always thought that the “of the people” thing is bollocks but I wonder if it was left out because of Obama’s mixed nationalities.
