Smit gets the first points of the second half after Charl McLeod is pinned for an infringement at a ruck. Now only a converted try in it. 26-19

And we are back in action

The Sharks take a tap penalty and the ball comes to Coetzee, who shows great leg strength as he drives over the line. He is held up off the ground, however. At the resulting scrum, the Sharks front row is penalised for illegal scrummaging. Watts boots the ball into touch and the referee blows his whistle to indicate half-time. The home side have dominated in most facets and deserve their lead but the Cheetahs fought back well and are still in this game. Half time break!

Smit succeeds with another penalty after Marcell Coetzee is pinned for going offside at a ruck. Cheetahs looking a different side in the last 10 minutes or so. Encouraging stuff from them, only a 10 point game now. 26-16

From the restart, the Cheetahs forwards go off their feet at a ruck and Zeilinga makes them pay when he adds the three-pointer. 26-13

TRY CHEETAHS. Rhule rounds off after Sadie and Watts display brilliant hand-speed in the build-up! Smit adds the extras

Zeilinga throws a skip pass, just outside the Cheetahs' 22, to Heimar Williams who gets an easy run-in for the home side's third try! Sharks in total control of this game. 20-6 after 25 minutes

Smit adds another three-pointer after Wiehahn Herbst is pinned for not rolling away at a ruck. 13-6

Zeilinga succeeds with his first goal-kick of the match after Robert Ebersohn is penalised for a ruck infringement. 13-3
