That is it here in Auckland. The ball knocks the referee and ends the game and the Cheetahs mini revival. The Blues managed to finish off the Cheetahs when they were down and held on for a bonus point home win.
Time is up and the Cheetahs have a penalty. They need to go 80m to salvage some points out of this game
Willie le Roux drops the ball at first receiver and there foes any chance the Cheetahs had of winning this. Blues survived that little scare.
Cheetahs with a tight head
De Jager knocks on 3m out as they try to pull within 1 scoring move to win. Watts has been decent since coming on.
Cheetahs are not far away from a try here.
Blues win a penalty and are going to take the points and settle things down a bit.
Sadie runs around Nonu and offloads to Benjamin who sets up Daniller for yet another try by the backs from way out
Blues with an attacking scrum 5m out. Saili breaks blind to set up for Woodcock drive and try. thats the bonus point for the home side.
WHAT A TRY. Set piece move off a scrum and Cornal Hendricks is put into a gap after a great running line. He collects the ball at the half way line and has plenty of time to offload to his man outside him but opts to go alone.
