I have just finished watching the Blues take on the Cheetahs in this weekends first game. How Guru can proudly say he supports the Cheetahs remains a mystery to me! It always gives me great joy seeing a South African team being thumped by a New Zealand team. A final scoreline of 46-12 to the Blues is a true reflection of the dominance the Blues had.
One point to note though is: were the Blues simply brilliant or were the Cheetahs awful? I will go with the later. I do not think I have seen such poor ball handling like that displayed by the Cheetahs this morning. They dropped the ball 3 times when they were over the try line, that is a simple 15 points they threw away. At this level that is shocking! If you can not catch the ball then how do you expect to win? The Cheetahs deserved to be hammered by more than the 46 points they got. The Blues themselves were also sloppy at times and they should have put atleast 50 on the board.
It is great to see the Blues playing the kind of rugby we have come to expect of them and their star players are starting to get into some kind of form. Watch out for the Blues!
