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.

Go to commentsActually the era defining moment came a few years earlier. February 2002 to be precise, when Michael D Higgins as finance minister at the time introduced his sports persons tax relief bill to the dial. As the politicians of the day stated “It seems to be another daft K Club frolic born in Kildare amongst the well-paid professional jockeys with whom the Minister plays golf” and that the scheme represented “a savage uncaring vision of Ireland and one that should be condemned”. The irfu and Leinster would be nowhere near the position they are in today without this key component of the finances.
