[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 366330, member: 39190"] I also cheer for the Cheetahs unless they play against WP/Stormers. I'm not so sure this will be the best year for them, though. Yes, more derbies will suit them and the fact that they only play 4 out of 16 or 17 games out of SA will be good as they are horrible travelers. But on the negative side: 1) a much longer tounrament will test player depth, which they don't have, at least in the backs and they may be found out 2) especially considering they only get a bye at the 2nd last week of the tournament and may be running on empty just after half way through 3) the fact that every team isn't playing every team counts against them this year as they will be missing the Force and Chiefs, both teams they would have targeted being the 2nd 'worst' teams of respectively Aus and NZ and teams they are perhaps on par with In that sense the Stormers have a better draw; missing the Hurricanes and Reds which I consider the 2nd best teams of NZ and Aus and both tricky games.
