Cheetahs by 7+
They have just come of a good win against the Brumbies, whilst the lions had a bye
The Lions are chopping and changing to find a winning formula, the Cheetahs are settled and have a winning formula
Cheetahs need to maintain the intensity, and enthusiasm on attack, and the boys need to start making their 1st time tackles!!
Cheetahs scrum, especially the front row will be too good for the Lions to handle!!
Go Cheetahs!!
This actually promises to be a very entertaining game. Cheetahs are looking much improved, but are playing away, and the Lions are desperate for a win.
I’ll be watching this one for sure.
Cheetahs should [OMG have I just poxed them] win this game.
VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
The bye will have done the Lions a world of good.

Only good the bye did the Lions was 4 log points lol!
just kidding, it’s tough when your team keeps losing, hope you guys can turn it around next week.
Unfortunately, there are too many disruptions and the Cheetahs are just too settled, to expect a win from the Lions.
Go Cheetahs!
