Or as Bulls loose forward Pedrie Wannenburg said, they'll take in anyway.

Cheetahs fullback Bevin Fortuin said he was almost too tired to speak.

"There are no words to describe this wonderful game," Fortuin said.

"Now, after extra time, I'm finished. It was two great teams who played each other.

"Obviously we would have liked to have won it, but it is still great just to have a share of the title."

Wannenburg said he too was very tired after 100 minutes of pulsating rugby.

"I don't feel too well," Wannenburg said.

"We knew it would be a hard game. A draw is not nice, but we'll take it anyway.

"It was quite nice to be  involved in the Final after I was out injured for four weeks."

Cheetahs lock Barend Pieterse also expressed his disappointment with the draw, but described it as a "fair" result on the day.

"We're bit disappointed," Pieterse said.

"We all wanted a win, but at the end of the day it was a fair result.

"Bloemfontein has never seen anything like this [a sea of orange supporters], everyone can go have a few beers tonight."

Man of the match, Cheetahs flank Kabamba Floors, said it was in the best interest of the team that he was replaced in the second half, because he was struggling with an injury.

"It doesn't help that you play with an injury, the team will only suffer," Floors said.

"I badly wanted to play the full 80 minutes, but I had to come off in the interest of the team."
