In a game where the Cheetahs had a endless amount of opportunities, it was the Force who come out on top as their solid defense stood strong. The Force record their first victory in South Africa since 2011, well deserved. Thank you for joining Ultimate Rugby for tonight's match.
The hooter sounds and the Force kick it out of play to end the game.
if UR got a dollar for every scrum reset, you'd never work again.
1min remaining, 7 point game.
Force clear the ball up field and the Cheetahs are forced to run it back, they do well and get over the advantage line. They lose the ball forward at the ruck, scrum to the Force on halfway.
The Force clear the ball and the Cheetahs counter attack, but throw a forward pass. Scrum to the Force on their own 22m. 4min remaining.
The ball dies in the ruck again and the scrum is awarded to the Force 5m out, another lost opportunity for the Cheetahs. Heartbreaking stuff for them, but great defense by the Force.
Cheetahs win a penalty inside the Force's 22m, the Force entered the ruck from the side. The Cheetahs setting up another lineout 5m out. 6min remaining.
The replays show that the ball was grounded before the line, and then pushed over thereafter. Penalty awarded to the Force who set up a lineout near halfway.
Cheetahs are attacking metres from the tryline. They seem to get over the tryline to score but the ref wants to check upstairs. Cheetahs make their way back to the halfway.
