TRY - From the scrum the Cheetahs worked it towards Philip Snyman, who is over the line for a late consolation score - Tewis de Bruyn adds the CONVERSION and WP win 36-15 as the hooter for FULL-TIME goes. That's it here from Newlands folks - a thoroughly convincing and deserved win by win Western Province. Join us in a short while when we head to Johannesburg for the match between the Lions and Bulls . |
79 |
A last bit of hope for the Cheetahs as Raymond Rhules hacks it upfield and Juan de Jongh carries it over his own tryline. |
77 |
Tewis de Bruyn can't add the extras - 8-36 |
76 |
TRY - Francois Uys, after another penalty and quick tap by Tewis de Bruyn, gets the ball over the line. The call goes to the TM<O, who ruled that the Cheetahs have a consolation try. |
74 |
The most shocking minute of play you will witness at this level - first Sias Ebersohn puts in a shocker of a grubber and then Philip Snyman knocks the ball on - this is such poor rubbish by the Cheetahs |
73 |
Eight more Cheetahs phases, another penalty to the Cheetahs - it was all just lateral ... extraordinary ineffective play by the Cheetahs |
72 |
That was 18 phases, of which 15 were about 5m out for the WP line. Eventually the Cheetahs got a penalty, but they still should have made more of that period of play. Cudos to the WP defence! |
70 |
More Cheetahs phases - how long before they turn it over? |
67 |
When WP have the ball in hand they look so effecient, it is like they are on the training ground. No doubt the Cheetahs will face the Kings in the promotion-relegation match next week after this hammering. The Bulls need just one point at Ellis Park to avoid a match against the Kings. A simple win or a draw gives the Bulls a quarterfinal spot. |
66 |
I might as well copy and paste the same sentence every two minutes - Cheetahs take it through number of phases and then turn the ball over, this time near the WP 22 |
64 |
More phases, followed by a chip-kick that hands the ball back to WP. Luckily for them Demetri Catrakilis kicks it out on full |
61 |
Looks like the Cheetahs have given up - Sias Ebersohn knocks on with not an opponent sight. Scrum to WP inside the Cheetahs 22 |
60 |
Demetri Catrakilis adds the CONVERSION and that is 36-3 |
59 |
TRY - Duane Vermeulen bursts over, after a few phases from that set piece. This Cheetahs team has been reduced to rubble |
58 |
Demetri Catrakilis is over the line, after yet another turnover conceded by the Cheetahs. However, he was held up and they come back for another scrum. |
56 |
This looks like an opposed practice run for Province now ... going through their training ground moves |
54 |
WP finding it all too easy to turn over ball now - first at a line-out and then at two rucks |
51 |
Demetri Catrakilis adds the CONVERSION and WP look like semifinalists now - 29-3 |
50 |
TRY - Deon Fourie makes the Cheetahs play for what must be the 10 worst minutes of their season. Fourie picks up from a ruck and breaks several tackles to score under the uprights. |
48 |
More of the same - Cheetahs try to run it out of their 22, only to knock it on after about six phases. This is incredibly poor |
46 |
This is rediculous - Cheetahs take the ball through about 10 phases and then turn it over near their own 10m line. That is just poor, poor execution against a solid defensive line |
44 |
Again the Cheetahs take the ball up through multiple phases, only to turn it over near the WP 10m line |
42 |
Cheetahs taking it through eight phases, before Sias Ebersohn kicks the ball away - that was all lateral |
41 |
Nico Scheepers gets the second half underway |
40 |
Finally a scrum is completed - seems like the Cheetahs' pleas about the tactics of Steven Kitshoff has been heeded. That's HALF-TIME folks - a half complete cominated by WP's clinical display and a string of scrum penalties against the Cheetahs. |
38 |
Demetri Catrakilis adds the CONVERSION and it is a 19-point lead - 22-3. Now Andries Bekker leaves the field with an injury |
37 |
TRY - Deon Fourie gets the five-pointer, as he hangs on at the back of a fast-moving maul |
36 |
Another scrum penalty to WP - Cheetahs have been penalised out of this game. Long chat between Adriaan Strauss (Cheetahs captain) and the ref now. |
34 |
Ref gets in the way and WP gets advantage and the scrum feed |
31 |
Cheetahs working it through the phases, but then concede a penalty near the WP 10m line for holding on in the tackle - Deon Fourie winning that penalty |
29 |
TRY - Quick-tap-and-go from the penalty and Andries Bekker stretches for the line. The call goes to the TMO, who rules that he was touching the ball while on the ground. Demetri Catrakilis adds the CONVERSION and the lead is 15-3 |
28 |
Cheetahs penalised again at the scrum - not a single scrum has been completed |
27 |
Cheetahs penalised at the scrum again - quick tap and go, but a knock-on ends the move metres from the line |
25 |
Province, after several phases near the Cheetahs 22, lnock the ball on and hand possession back to the visitors |
23 |
Penalty to WP scrum this time, as the scrum goes down again - Coenie Oosthuizen looks in serious pain and he leaves the field - is that neck still troubling him |
22 |
The Cheetahs manage to hold the ball up i n the tackle for a turnover near halfway, after WP took it through about 10 phases again |
20 |
Nico Scheepers, this time on the angle, slots the PENALTY to open the Cheetahs' account - 3-8 |
19 |
Bryan Habane penalised at the tackle, again a desperate move to stop a possible Cheetahs try - only this time he was illegal |
17 |
Try-saving tackle by Bryan habane on Raymond Rhule just metres from the WP - Daniller and Scheepers set up the break |
16 |
Scrum reset again ... then Steven Kitshoff penalised - one for you, one for them |
15 |
Forward pass from the line-out hands the ball back to the Cheetahs - near their own 10m line |
14 |
Deon Fourie makes amends by winning a turnover penalty from the restart |
13 |
Nico Scheepers, from bang in front, hooks it past the left upright - that is a shocker! |
12 |
Deon Fourie penalised in front of his own posts as he just flops over ay a ruck |
11 |
After a few phases inside the WP 22, Demetri Catrakilis clears his line |
10 |
Demetri Catrakilis can't add the extras, but the lead is 8-0 |
9 |
TRY - The Cheetahs' defence is stretched out wide as the ball goes through the hands and Jean de Villiers is over in the right corner. The call goes to the TMO, who is looking for a possible forward pass, but he rules that the try is good. |
8 |
WP straight back on the attrack - a great chip by Gerhard van den Heever allows Nic Groom to regather |
7 |
From the centre spot Joe Pietersen is away to the left |
6 |
Third collapse and the referee decides the Cheetahs front row 'hinged' - penalty to Province |
5 |
Scrum reset twice now... |
4 |
Poor restart by Cheetahs, kick does not travel the 10m |
3 |
Penalty to WP, for a high tackle - Demetri Catrakilis, from 38m out, slots the PENALTY for an early 3-0 lead to the home team |
2 |
WP taking it through the phases - into double figures now |
0 |
Demetri Catrakilis gets the game underway |
-2 |
The teams are getting ready to take to the field - we are minutes away from the action! |
-5 |
The permutation is simple - the winner will play in the semifinals, the loser is out! |
