@Cheetah 4 Eva(Cheetah 4 Eva)-22: One can never say for absolute certain but if Smith had been there I rek Cheetahs could have taken the win. I recall as soon as Smith joined the Cheetahs in last years S14 that he turned their fortunes around and they started doing well. He makes a big positive impact. I'm keen to see what Brussow can do come Saturday.

@foreverrugga(foreverrugga)-20: Agree with you on that, the Bulls bench clinched it, but by then we had already lost Juan after a few minutes, and Frans Viljoen before half time. That scrum was after Wilhelm was a bit harshly yellow carded, and the Cheetahs were down to 7 in the scrum... I think it would have been real interesting, had Juan/Viljoen not been injured so early!!

I agree that Cheetahs should take this one and that their pack should be ahead of the Lions pack especially with Brussow in the mix, its just a pity Smith isn’t around.
You say the Cheetahs held their own against the Bulls, I’d agree until Flip and Russouw were brought on then the Cheetahs were hammered bad, one very poor scrum even resulting in a try being conceded (where Johnson flicked the ball back).

@WP_(WP_)-15: I think he reports to a black guy at work. And I think he has been exposed as a ducker and diver, so the resentment runs deep.

@Hondo(Hondo)-4: Kabamba and Johnson have been outstanding so far - why the doubt ?

Warren Whiteley has been great so far i hope he keeps it up. This Lions team is certainly looking more settled now …. now they must win

@Hondo(Hondo)-4: Dude, wtf is your problem anyway? "The Cheetahs cannot expect to get anywhere this season with Johnson and Floor in their match 22" Ashley J has been playing some of his best rugby in the last few weeks. Expect him to have a Stormers. And Maku not that bad, been playing decently! Try see the players! Not their skin colours!!!

@Hondo(Hondo)-4: Rugby is not as simplistic as that. Lions loosies have been immense, but the Cheetah’s are not to be sneezed at!!

Coenie Oosthuisen vs Pat Cilliers
Rayno Barnes vs Maku
WP Nel vs JC van Rensburg
Martin Muller vs Wikus van Heerden
Wilhelm Steenkamp vs Franco vd Merwe
Heinrish Brussow vs Derek Minnie
Phillip vd Walt vs Josh Strauss
Frans Viljoen vs Warren Whitely

Sarel Pretorius vs Kockett
Sias Ebersohn vs Elton Jantjies
Rayno Benjamin vs Lionel Mapoe
Andries Strauss vs Doppies le Grange
Robert Ebersohn vs Waylon Murray
Phillip Snyman vs Michael Killian
Riaan Viljoen vs Jaco Taute

Skipper Badenhorst vs Martin Bezuidenhout
Kobus Caldo vs Kevin Buys
Karamba Floors vs Cobus Grobbelaar
Francois Uys vs Dries van Schalkwyk
Tewis de Bruyn vs Jano Vermaak
Naas Olivier vs Burton Francis

Only a brave man would wager on this one.

Cheetahs should boss the scrums and lineouts, but I think the Lions loosies will be able to match the Cheetahs.

Both backlines are able to score tries, but so far the Cheetahs defense has been immense. Home ground advantage will help the Cheetahs.

A musch heavier pack than was the case against the Bulls, and the Cheetahs held their own, They will look to dominate a bit. Scrum should weigh in at close to 900 kg’s. Locks have so far bossed the Sharks and Bulls in the lineouts. Hopefully the refs can get a consistent touch blah blah sequence

Go Cheetahs!!

I think that the Sharks have realised that John can’t play number 2 with Biz in the same team. Biz should be captain of the Sharks and Boks.

@Hondo(Hondo)-4: Sharks will win that game by about 40 points. Force are a far better team than the Rebels, even with 14 men.

I saw a team sheet eearlier that had Frans Viljoen playing at 6 & Phillip Burger on the bench?

Also the assistant referee for the lions v cheetahs is Glen Jackson? is this former saracens fly half last year??
