A little bit of pushing and shoving, but nothing serious enough to merit any punishment.

Blood

Cheetahs break, Stegmann makes the tackle and the dives over the ball. Penalty Cheetahs.

Let's see what impact this sub will have on the scrum.

Bulls penalty on the 22m. And the ref has voiced his frustration with the Cheetahs scrum.

Both teams engage in a game of aerial ping pong. Finally Bulls find touch on the Cheetahs 22m.

Potgieter's first involvement since getting back on the pitch was not finding touch from a penalty.

Pretorius broke the line, but knocked the ball on in an attempted offload. Bulls broke, but knocked it into touch in the process. Cheetahs had the option to pick between a line out or a scrum, they went for the line out.

That half had it's moments of enjoyable, fast paced rugby, but was also plagued with multiple infringements. The amount of penalties really crushed any fluidity that either teams had. The Bulls capitalized on their man advantage, however, the Cheetahs have only put three points on the board since Potgieter was shown yellow. They have three minutes in the second half before Potgieter finds his way back on the pitch. Hopefully the game will open up a bit more in this second half.

Another penalty for the Cheetahs.
