Sergeal Petersen will make his debut for the Cheetahs this weekend. I wonder if the youngster still have that blistering pace he used to have.

I forsee a lot of scrums and a lot of point for us. 'Best' scrum vs 'worst' scrum in the competition going up against each other. If only our line-out could function we'd be close to a sure thing for 5 log points.

Cheetahs will be dangerous on the counter with their 'maverick' players but I expect we'll (assisted by Joubert) make it a game of structured rugby and win.

Nah we got this, Cheetahs were a nice little side for the past couple years, but they've just lost to much talent, player for player we have them beaten in just about every position. A win is a must, a BP victory should be the aim.
No offense to the Cheetahs of course, they've just lost too much talent.

It'd been nice to have really gone for the pressure at the scrums from the get-go but I suppose AC is rotating and giving Kitshoff a rest. I have liked Kebble. Maybe it's good to give him a good go seeing as Kitshoff is linked with a mve North.
