The Cheetahs were up 31-7 at the break and it was a late rally from the Lions that first brought respectability and then an outside chance of winning the game. For them‚ however‚ it was a case of too little‚ too late. “I reckon you can praise their character. Young guys who want to play. At the start we looked a lot at what the opponents were doing. It must have been an attractive match to watch‚” said Van Rooyen about the free-flowing spectacle in the first half.
