Cheetahs crush Kings
19 Oct 2012
GARETH DUNCAN watched the Free State Cheetahs cruise to a 53-14 win over the EP Kings in Bloemfontein.
Despite the loss of 13 first-choice players to injury, Free State hammered the First Division champions in the first leg of the promotion-relegation play-offs. The hosts grabbed four tries on the each side of half-time to secure the big win.
Inside centre Andries Strauss, who will join the Kings next season, grabbed a brace, while tighthead prop Ross Geldenhuys, wing Nico Scheepers, No 8 Phillip van der Walt, hooker Adriaan Strauss and wing Rayno Benjamin crossed the chalk. Referee Jonathan Kaplan also awarded Free State a penalty try at the death.
The EP Kings were behind 24-0 at the break, and scored two consolation tries during the second stanza via flank Devin Oosthuizen and inside centre Shane Gates.
The second leg will be played in PE next weekend, but it’s highly unlikely that the Kings will be able to come back from this massive deficit. The Cheetahs landed a knockout blow in the first round.

@Transformation-2:
have you been dringking man…
19 Oct 2012, 19:57 pm
Hope Cheetahs win by 70+ points.
19 Oct 2012, 19:58 pm
I’ve never hated something or someone more than I hate the Kings.
19 Oct 2012, 20:00 pm
Looks like no surprises here.
Common kings score some blarry points or something!
Hmm.
They must be missing their super star Luke Watson!….
19 Oct 2012, 20:05 pm
Smash them Cheetahs! Put 100 past these King Chumps.
19 Oct 2012, 20:06 pm
Hope the FS Cheetahs score more than 50 points just to underline what a bunch of clowns SARA is.
The Lions should NEVER have lost their S15 status.
19 Oct 2012, 20:08 pm
I can’t stand the Kings!
19 Oct 2012, 20:13 pm
Try of the season…
19 Oct 2012, 20:14 pm
@Liewe Luiperd-9: i can’t stand the Sharks!

Just saw plumtree’s tweet on twitter… We wants solly to explain that move to him… He wants to use it vs the bulls
19 Oct 2012, 20:20 pm
That clown Hoskins must be kidding us?
19 Oct 2012, 20:24 pm
60m try from a front rower. sub him now and give him a holiday!
19 Oct 2012, 20:52 pm
well that was rude…
19 Oct 2012, 20:55 pm
Welcome to the big league Kings.
Kings will be better at home though.
19 Oct 2012, 21:00 pm
Both teams without some of their better players,but the Cheetahs missing 13 of their front line players just underlined the difference between first and premier
league
19 Oct 2012, 21:07 pm
Let us hope the Southern Kings will offer sterner opposition in Super 15,because teams like the Chiefs are capable of putting 100 points on the
board in 60 minutes.
19 Oct 2012, 21:10 pm
So now what happens to the lions next year?
Upow,
19 Oct 2012, 21:11 pm
HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!! Super 15′s gonna hurt. I think we will se the first 100 pointer in Super Rugby next year.
19 Oct 2012, 21:11 pm
Well done Cheeky and the EP clowns, fielding only two players of colour and both as subs, you are really doing your bit for development!! These guys will do the aussies and kiwis proud in the S15 walking bonus points, only good thing is that the other SA teams will get 10 points !
19 Oct 2012, 21:14 pm
Sharks last weekend probably would have put at least 70/80 on this kings team!
long road ahead! Lions were actually looking alright with Ackers! Pity their road ran out..
And is Andries straus not joining them!? He must be so excited now!
19 Oct 2012, 21:18 pm
Sounds like mitchells flown the coup – gdam idiots allround – Mitchell for his hisdyfits and the lions players for not taking it. WTF I thought it woulda been easy / they lost a damn good coach there – allround they didn’t factor injuries into account – they were decimated in 1st half of s15 and never recovered.
19 Oct 2012, 21:24 pm
the lily white ref must have cheated
19 Oct 2012, 21:26 pm
“GARETH DUNCAN says the Kings should become a stronger entity than the Cheetahs, no matter what happens in the upcoming Currie Cup promotion-relegation play-offs.
I think the Kings will provide a challenge against a weakened Free State outfit. But I admit that domestic promotion would be a surprise, especially when you consider the fact that the current Kings side isn’t much stronger than the team that lost to the Pumas in the 2010 play-offs.”
Gareth D you idiot. The FS B team just moered them by 8 tries and by +40 points. Next year they get reinforcements from the Griquas who will murder these entitled white EP boys by +38 points.
You are a big dissapointment, you have become Keo’s mouth piece, a brainless writer who copy and pastes kak Keo written articles puting your name to it.
Pfffft grow some balls boy.

@charo-24:
No it’s that racist Rhule, he didn’t stick to Cheeky’s Transformation Script
19 Oct 2012, 21:28 pm
17 posts on keo thread by end of the game. Thats what future sponsors should take into account!
19 Oct 2012, 21:28 pm
19 Oct 2012, 21:29 pm
@Hondo-13: why are you dissapointed – thought you would enjoy watching an all white Kings team playing this match
19 Oct 2012, 21:35 pm
Was that a fullstrength kings side tho? Cos the team I saw anounced the other day for the s15 was bladdy good.
Both lions and kings shoulda been playing – I said way back when hoskins and marinos, the two technocrats, were trying to mic it with a slightly ballsier technocrat oneil who has no love for the game in the slightest, only for his own cv, job done one Melbourne rebels – oz have 5 franchises what horseshit – sa should have 6 got nothing to do with quality, anyone with money can fly in a squad of 30, easy as, in fact, the rebels been outright **** with the money and quality at their disposal.
19 Oct 2012, 21:36 pm
I expect the title of this thread to hastily change to one of the below, once Keo has given Gareth an urgent call on his cell.
“Gutsy Kings go down fighting in Bloem.”
“Unlucky Kings pipped by Cheetahs.”
“Cheetahs get bounce of the ball in Bloem battle.”
“Exlusive expose: Suzi costs Kings before Cheetahs clash!”
19 Oct 2012, 21:38 pm
@Guns-22: Andries tried his best not to show any excitement when he scored his tries. He never smiled!! Now he knows what will be waiting in the next S15 – tackle…tackle …. tackle..etc !!!!!
How was Gareth’s prediction ? “Cheetahs by 10 points” LMAO !!!!!!
19 Oct 2012, 21:38 pm
Big problem coming around the merry go round.. This Kings side is nowhere near ready for S15.. Cheetahs were toying with these guys like it was a practice game on a Sunday afternoon warm up. Imagine this Kings side going to Highlanders, Chiefs Hurricanes and Crusaders away.. massacre is going to sound like its a Xmas picnic party.

@RL-29:
Remember 85 when the winner of the CC B division Natal, played the no 2 team on the CC log Free State, won and played WP in the final?
We should reinstate that match
Imagine if the Kings had to play the Lions at Coca Cola Park tonight?
It would have been sold out
19 Oct 2012, 21:41 pm
The Kinks were, are and always will be complete rubbish. I’m so Solly, uncle Cheeky, I’m so solly if I caused you any pain…
They got absolutely shredded by those Cheetahs. Imagine what the Crusaders would do to them? 100 points by half-time, unless they waste time at the kick-offs.
Currie Cup “first division”? Pfft! Play-play third-rate rugby with a grand title. Who do they think they’re fooling?
19 Oct 2012, 21:43 pm
Well thats a mess but im sure some one can assist..
19 Oct 2012, 21:44 pm
Aha WTF u talking **** for this late on a fri night?
19 Oct 2012, 21:47 pm
who talking sh’t here this dumb doos who reckon he’s his own worst nightmare unfolding before his own dumbfck eyes. f’ng moron in a dream state of delusion.
19 Oct 2012, 21:48 pm
The kinks were fantastic, the kings, eh not so much.
19 Oct 2012, 21:50 pm
If Kings want to be in any way ready for super rugby they better catch a wake up because look like they heading for a train smash of some proportion .. that side that ran out tonight are going to get annihilated something chronic. They better find another 22 players somewhere fast before February.
19 Oct 2012, 21:52 pm
Thank you cheetahs for putting the EP pretenders in their proper place and to think they are going to play super rugby next year the mind boggles.
19 Oct 2012, 21:52 pm
kinky kings krying like kalypso kween kreole
19 Oct 2012, 21:55 pm
Yep that yanya like you – talk shittie outta twattie wattie – had to give B a bit of a boost too next thing he starts doubting hisgoodself and I wouldn’t want that.

your chummy chum chum is the biggest two faced coward under the sun.. I never came across a more cowardly little two faced runt in all my life, and you crawling up his arse shows how far up your own fat delusion the both of you are.. along with the other goons whose backsides you fanning, the poor chick is confused but she still light years ahead of the rest of you so called skeptic screwed up imbeciles.
anyway this no place to discuss that garbage.. pity that pseudo little prick is too chicken to face the music that why he run duck and hide behind his fat exclusionary facade that he’s supposedly further intelligently advanced down the road of self discovery… you high priests of self made delusion are all the same .. big fat egos built on nothing but puffed up pride and prejudice.. that’s the kind of garbage that actually thinks it has any goddamn answers when it don’t.
19 Oct 2012, 22:07 pm
Why is our keo “friend” Transformation so scarce?
He has dished it out here for years, sitting safely on the fence.
I predict some big pain for him next year. Quite a few will gun for him to “return all those years of serve”…
F’ck Cheeky.
F’ck the Kings.
19 Oct 2012, 22:09 pm
Bit of glamour never hurt – old Scottish grumpyness luv it.
19 Oct 2012, 22:09 pm
@victoriabok-45: I shudder at the thought.. it going to be an avalanche of massive destruction.. I don’t know how these dudes are going to sleep at night between now and then.
Solly better go on a recruitment drive for a whole new team because those dudes that did service tonight are going to be mashed to smithereens.
19 Oct 2012, 22:13 pm
How long will it be before some of these new Kings fans, disillusioned by all the century point hidings, go back to supporting the Crusaders and the All Blacks? PE stadium will be empty except for when the Crusaders and Chiefs are in town.
