Despite their loss yesterday - I was really impressed with the Cheetahs performance yesterday. In the first half of he game they showed very little and was under extreme pressure - but they came back strongly in the second half and was really impressive.
Given that they are in genral not good travellers, teams playing in Bloemfontein against them are going to find more difficulties than they would expect. They are off to Australsia and will play the Chiefs next week. I expect that all the experts believe they would be beaten comprehensively by the Chiefs bearing in mind the Chaief's performance against the Highlanders - but will not at all be surprised if they put up a reasoanble performance in Round 3.
