The Cheetahs triumphed in Bloemfontein with an injury time penalty.
The Cheetahs won 27-26 to take the Reconciliation Cup.
There is no such thing as a pre-season hit out in South African rugby. This could easily have been the real deal as the Stormers led 16-3, the Cheetahs fought back to lead 17-16, the Stormers found an extra gear to go ahead 26-17 and then the Cheetahs hit back with 10 points in the last five minutes.

All in all there isn’t much to read into this game ,Cheetahs felt like they had won the world cup or boned miss universe and Stormers acted as if it wasn’t a big deal.
For the Cheetahs it should galvanize their confidence

oh Dawn, let me read you some poetry, my sweet.

Look I think the Stormers should actually withdraw from the S15 now. Its obvious we’re going to waste our time even competing this year. Cheetahs and Bulls setting the pace……we can’t compete. Looking at previous years warmups: the Lions beat the guppies and we all know the Lions went on to win the S15……..

Lekker Cheetahs thump the Kaapies!

Oh and this just in from Pedigree, bless her.
“Bwhaaaaa, tell them all I say a huge and mighty congrats to the Cheetahs and Bulls for winning the Gauteng Cup and Reconciloation challenge so convincingly. I will be hedgin alllll my bets on the Cheetahs and Bulls to place 1st and 2nd on the log, because these warm up games define a season.”

@Dawn-106:
The beauty of a woman
Is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries,
Or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman
With passing years only grows!

Did Jean De Villiers have a cry after the game ?
2 Feb 2013, 20:25 pm
@Dawn-103: No, the Stormers must stay. Its too much fun watching them grow a big head during the season and get humbled in the playoffs.

More from Pedigree:
“I am so gutted at the performance of a few of our 1st choice players….. Players who I expected to be the ‘go to men’; the stars of our season. Guys like; de Allende, Armand, de Kok Steenkamp, Coleman, Smid, Schreuder, Klaasen etc. These okes are the core of our team….. .. And if they flop, we fucked, cos NOfuckingwayinhell, are our 2nd stringers, Bekker, Burger, Kolisi, Groom, Jantjies, Elstadt, Jean Div etc better than this lot. (Ohhh wait, I’m sounding like a Guppie fan now, excuse excuses…..) Stormers lost fair, square with **** decision making and feeble mistakes. Carr however was a highlight for me, a huge one…. Lost no pace, skill or class after his layoff. Cheetahs are the worthy ‘Reconciliation Cup’ champs and Juan Smith still is and always will be: LEGEND.”

How did Juan Smith go?
2 Feb 2013, 20:47 pm
Boring game.
Congrats to the Cheetahs for pulling it off. Smith showed why he was missed so much by the Cheetahs the last two years. If he can stay fit for the whole campaign, the Cheetahs can even end above the Sharks and the Bulls on the log.
AC needs to tweak the Stormers’ game plan. We were sterile on attack. JdJ needs to be more aware of support runners after he makes a break. No need to go to the ground when there are players close by who can take the ball forward.

@Dawn-111: wazzzzzuuuuppppp !!!! You still sober ? Haven’t hit the Pimms yet ?
2 Feb 2013, 20:54 pm
@nama1-113: Well dompoos, the Cheetahs didn’t just beat the Bulls or Sharks, they just did the Stormers so they could end above them on the log too ? Huh dingbat ?

Dusky its whiskey on the rocks
2 Feb 2013, 21:01 pm
well done Bafana
great goal
2 Feb 2013, 21:04 pm
@Slumtown-112:
he did well.
still early days but so far he looks good.
@nama1-113:
no, stormers game was boring.
cheetahs were enterprising and deserved the win.
2 Feb 2013, 21:07 pm
tokelo rantie!!!
2 Feb 2013, 21:12 pm
@Dusky-115:
No.
Above the Sharks and the Bulls if Smith stays fit, poepol.
2 Feb 2013, 21:18 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-118:
Cheetahs were outplayed by the Stormers in the 1st half. They only got into the game when Smith came on.
You’re right. The Stormers game was boring.
What do you make of the Bulls’ game vs the Lions? Are you satisfied with what you’ve seen?
2 Feb 2013, 21:49 pm
Swak verdediging deur Bafana.
2 Feb 2013, 21:53 pm
I did predict a few weeks ago that the Stormers will have a rather average season this year (their real Super rugby form). Looks like I may be right…………….
2 Feb 2013, 22:04 pm
lovely seeing the cheetahs win the first stormers “trophy” of the year.
plascon wall and all no longer in the stormers “trophy” cabinet
2 Feb 2013, 22:11 pm
I wonder if there are any trophies in the Shark trophy cabinet (a useless piece of furniture if they have one in their offices) to be won?
Mmmm…let me think……….

2 Feb 2013, 22:15 pm
howzit nama.
since you met fern and he gave glowing accounts of you i have decided to interact with you on a more relaxed level so even though you support a k u k team, i hope that you are having a wonderful weekend.
i am watching bafana and trying to organise semifinal tickets (cmon boys you can do it!).
2 Feb 2013, 22:17 pm
i suspect lack of proper leadership will be the stormers downfall this year.
the springbok captain isnt even first choice in his position when frans is fit and that will have a negative effect on his game imo.
if thats possible.
2 Feb 2013, 22:23 pm
such a trevor noah moment watching the crowd sin the national anthem tonight at the bafana game.
its clear most havent a clue about the words for the part in afrikaans taken from “die stem” but if anything, the volume increased as they tried their best.
this is quite humbling and i urge my fellow white south africans to learn and understand the words to the very beautiful nkosi silkelel i’africa and sing them with pride and gusto at the next possible opportunity.
2 Feb 2013, 22:25 pm
Extra time.
Can the Boys pull through?
Our defense is really dodgy. No real communication amongst the back four. Khumalo needs to step up and be counted.
2 Feb 2013, 22:27 pm
Lekker to have blown away Pakistan for 49 earlier.
2 Feb 2013, 22:28 pm
@nama1-131: man i hope so.
tried to get tickets for this game but they were sold out so quick.
just got offered tickets for the semi for 800 sa rand, crazy.
2 Feb 2013, 22:29 pm
@Liewe Luiperd-132: very lekker and hash and ab have been bringing the pain.
hope we dont declare til they both have centuries and then we end it sharpish!
2 Feb 2013, 22:30 pm
@The Rangerman-129:
Schalk, Vermeulen, Fourie, Habana, Bekker are all leaders in their own right. Leadership is the least of our problems.
What we need is to tweak our game plan and set our dangerous backs free. We seem to be still struggling with that part. If that happens, the sky is the limit.
PS: Frans is average. Always was, always will be.
2 Feb 2013, 22:32 pm
today was a difficult day for me.
the sea was too dirty for a dive and then there was simply too much quality sport on.
that and the perfect windless 37 degree day here in durbs just was too much
2 Feb 2013, 22:32 pm
sorry, 27 degree, haha 37 degrees would have been overkill.
2 Feb 2013, 22:33 pm
@Liewe Luiperd-132:
Still trying to find a reason why Graeme did not enforce the follow on. Our boys only bowled 29 overs. No way that they were tired.
You have a clue why he decided to bat again?
2 Feb 2013, 22:34 pm
@nama1-135: nah, frans is a cracker, always has been, always will be.
eish, mahlangu! nice shot, good save.
i just think leadership may be your problem bud, could be wrong time will tell.
2 Feb 2013, 22:34 pm
@The Rangerman-133: ]
R800 is crazy!!!
2 Feb 2013, 22:36 pm
@nama1-138: good question, i was driving the coast looking for clean water so i miseed the whole morning session.
you wouldnt believe my surprise and joy when i arrived home and checked the score
2 Feb 2013, 22:37 pm
@nama1-140: ja man, i cant afford that as i am off to mozam in 3 weeks with my spearfishing club but i am DESPERATE to go if bafana qualify.
cant believe its looking like penalties now.
cmon bafana, CMON!
2 Feb 2013, 22:39 pm
@The Rangerman-139:
Guess we’ll have to disagree on both accounts.
Pity Elton could not play today. Would’ve loved to see if he can get our back line going.
Real tragic situation re his dad. Met somebody the other day who served with his dad in the army in Cape Town some years ago. He was full of praise for the man.
2 Feb 2013, 22:39 pm
bafana push it wide but take too long to send it back to the middle allowing the defense time to set and preventing our strikers r midfield running onto the cross.
one touch crosses would be far more effective.
2 Feb 2013, 22:42 pm
@nama1-143: man, my heart goes out to the whole family.
too tragic.
have a friend whose mom, a real fitness lady full of life and only early 50′s, went to sleep this week and just never woke up.
just as surprising as mr jantjies’s death by frikken beesting.
too sad.
2 Feb 2013, 22:45 pm
@The Rangerman-141:
Yes, especially since there are some rain predicted for Monday and Tuesday in Johburg.
2 Feb 2013, 22:47 pm
@nama1-121:
i expected it to go either way so was happy to see the bulls maintain composure and finish off strongly at the end.
this is still a very good lions team and i expect them to beat most of the teams they play against this season.
for the bulls Serfontein, Botha and Stegmann looked classy at times.
i think they will be there or there about this season but i dont expect them to win any titles.
2 Feb 2013, 22:50 pm
@nama1-146: no ways?
that makes it even more perplexing?
haha, watching that oke praying at the bafana game reminds me of the old zulu guy in front of me at the game vs morocco who was mal at the ref, claiming the ref didnt “hlonipha”(respect) bafana
2 Feb 2013, 22:53 pm
@The Rangerman-145:
Jip, it can be so sudden sometimes.
Last year I bumped into my best mate of 25 years in the local pharmacy where he was waiting for a prescription. We chatted a bit and he told me about this moerse heartburn that he had. When he got his medicine he walked out to his bakkie while I was still waiting for my prescription. About 5 minutes later some lady came running into the pharmacy and said that someone just had some kind of an attack outside. When someone asked, “Who” she mentioned his name and I ran outside. It was too late. He died right in front of me.
2 Feb 2013, 22:55 pm
@nama1-149: no man, thats terrible.
sorry bud.
