Rhyno leads late charge to give Cheetahs come-from-behind victory
By Online Editors
Rhyno Smith scored two tries in the last five minutes as the Cheetahs stunned Southern Kings and claimed a last-gasp 31-30 Guinness PRO14 win.
The Kings led 13-0 after 27 minutes thanks to a converted Bader-Werner Pretorius try and penalty.
Sintu Manjezi scored his first try for the Cheetahs in the 35th minute then added his second five minutes into the second half, two minutes after Stefan Ungerer touched down for the Kings.
JT Jackson crossed for the hosts before Wilmar Arnoldi replied, but the drama was still to come with Smith scoring tries in the 75th and 80th minutes, with Pienaar’s second conversion scoring the winning points.
WATCH: Andy Goode and Brendan Venter didn't hold back on this weeks pod as they discussed Saracens and the salary cap scandal.

I think we need to get innovative with the new laws.
Now red cards are only 20 minutes, Razor should send Finau on a head hunting mission to hospitalise their 10 with a shoulder to the chops.
Give the conspiracy theorists a win.
Go to commentsEngland played well enough to win but couldnt score when they needed to and couldnt defend a couple of X-Factor moments from Telea which was ultimately the difference. They needed to hold the ball more and make the AB's make more tackles. Territorially they were good for the first 60. Defending their lead and playing pragmatic rugby in the last 20 was silly. The AB's always had the potential to come back. England still have a long way to go, definite progress would have been shown had they won but it seems they are still stuck where they were shortly after the six nations and their tour to NZ
