Selfs \u2019n duidelik teleurgestelde Pieter Bergh, afrigter van die Poubloues, het lof vir die Springbok Frans Steyn gehad vir sy aandeel daarin dat die Vrystaat Cheetahs Vrydag (10\/03) sy span geklop het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk dink hy (Steyn) het \u2019n briljante wedstryd gehad in sy terugkeer n\u00e1 \u2019n besering,\u201d s\u00ea Bergh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Cheetahs het vyf drie\u00eb gedruk om Griekwas Vrydag met 42 \u2013 19 in Kimberley te klop tydens \u2019n eerste wedstryd in vanjaar se Curriebeker-reeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het gedink ons kan hulle vaspen in hul helfte met die wind in ons seile in die eerste helfte. Maar die manier waarop hy en Ruan (Pienaar, skrumskakel) kantlyn toe geskop het \u2013 teen die wind \u2013 dink ek was uitsonderlik.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bergh gee toe sy span is by die afbreekpunte ore aangesit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk dink hulle was meer fisiek as ons en hulle het ons \u2019n bietjie geboelie by die afbreekpunte,\u201d s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit was Steyn (35), wat al in 78 toetse vir Suid-Afrika gespeel het, se eerste wedstryd nadat hy vroeg in Desember \u2019n dyspierbesering opgedoen het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk dink sy (Steyn) skoppe teen die wind in is iets wat die gang van die wedstryd geswaai het,\u201d het Hawies Fourie, afrigter van die Vrystaat Cheetahs, n\u00e1 die wedstryd ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy het ongelooflike afstand met sy skoppe gekry. Veral met daardie laaste skop voor rustyd, wat hy naby aan hul doellyn uitgeskop en wat ons toe in staat gestel het om \u2019n drie te gaan druk. Dit was goud werd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOm 15 \u2013 0 teen Griekwas voor te wees, was nie genoeg nie, maar 22 \u2013 0 (rustyd) het baie druk op hulle geplaas in die tweede helfte.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit was egter nie net met sy skopvoet dat Steyn, wat op binnesenter diens gedoen het, \u2019n indruk gemaak het nie. Volgens statistieke op die Suid-Afrikaanse Rugbyunie se webblad het hy ook tien keer die bal gedra en vyf duikslae uitgevoer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fourie s\u00ea die plan wat die Cheetahs gehad het om die Poubloues te klop, het goed gewerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het \u2019n plan gehad hoe ons teen Griekwas wou speel, deur druk op hulle te plaas, en dit het regtig goed vir ons gewerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het onsself wel \u2019n bietjie in die voet geskiet met die baie geel kaarte en die strafskoppe wat ons afgestaan het. Krediet aan ons spelers; ons het Griekwas fisiek oorheers in die kontaksituasies \u2013 op die aanval en die verdediging \u2013 dit was deel van ons plan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Cheetahs het 19 strafskoppe in die wedstryd afgestaan, teenoor die 16 van Griekwas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Griekwas en die Haaie kom Sondag (19\/03) in Kimberley teen mekaar te staan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
