Cheetahs smash Sunwolves in huge win!
The score : 92-17
It seemed as if the game was going to be a high scoring affair, with 17 points being scored within the first ten minutes and it certainly did live up to this expectation as the Cheetahs ran in five tries in the first quarter of the match.
The visitors’ hectic travelling schedule were – as expected – taking a toll on their reaction time both on attack and defense as the men from Bloemfontein ran in seven tries to none in the first half and fourteen five pointers to two in the end.
As much as the scoreline reflects the attacking prowess of the home side, it also is a testament of their discipline on defense.
An all-round brilliant display of talent and skill from the home side as they ran riot in the second half. Captain Francois Venter, scrum-half Shaun Venter, number eight Paul Schoeman and the flying 21-year-old Sergeal Petersen were all heavily involved

Smoking should be illegal
Today I will be arguing that smoking should be illegal. I believe smoking should be banned because
Smoking will most likely cause lung cancer
Smoking is also a cause of secondary smoking which kills children
Smoking as a consequence causes peer pressure
Firstly, smoking can cause lung cancer and in case you didn’t already know lung cancer can and will KILL YOU! Additionally, when you get lung cancer you will end up in hospital and while you are in hospital other people (mostly children) cannot be cured of their ailments or diseases because of your evidently poor decision.
Next, smoking could also be a cause of secondary smoking. No, smoking doesn’t just kill you it can also kill other people. This is called secondary smoking. This happens usually when young kids are raised close to or with smokers. They then inhale the excess contents of the cigarette causing lung failure. Also let’s be straight here smokers absolutely stink. I mean I know this because my uncle smokes and although he is not a heavy smoker he still smells like tobacco and ash.
Lastly, smoking causes peer pressure. Of course you want to be seen as popular everyone does. However sometimes the risks you have to take to be with the “in” crowd are too great and should not be taken at all. Smoking fits in to this category. As my mum always says to me, if this person jumped off of a cliff without a parachute would you? And the answer from most intelligent human beings would be a straight up NO.
Today I have argued that smoking should be called illegal because it causes lung cancer, smoking can be secondary and kills and harms children. Lastly smoking can often cause peer pressure. Thank you for taking your time to read my exposition today. I hope you agree with me that smoking should be illegal.
Yours sincerely
