Neither team is willing to play inside their own half, plenty of kicks out of hand. Cheetahs lineout on halfway.

Three serious injuries in the opening 25min of play.

Ankle injury

Penalty to the Cheetahs, Hunt does not release van Wyk on the ground before going for the ball.

HUGE scrum by the Reds. They are awarded yet another penalty and Turner sets up a lineout on the Cheetahs 22m line.

The Reds are lucky not to be pinged for an early tackle, Reds scrum on the halfway line.

Penalty to the Cheetahs, Thomson goes off his feet while stealing the ball at the ruck, however Pietersen is unable to find touch. Big mistake.

Injury

Genia goes offside at the scrum and the Cheetahs have a penalty 5m from their own tryline.

Brilliant lineout move sees Gill break down the side of the field before offloading to Hanson who is tackled 15m out from the tryline. The Reds lose the ball forward 5m from the tryline. Great set move by the Reds.
