The initial part of the training programme is likely to clash with the EOYT and some players may initially be missing from the programme.
The Cheetahs has a habit of bringing out youngsters that may blossom with them.   There are a few problem areas and they will certainly miss a few of their top players - especially Goosen, Strauss Labuschagne and Van der Walt..
There are a few problem areas where they  may have problems.   Those include -
*   Their props - they really need stronger scrummagers.*   Their back-up locks were in the apst problematic
An interesting  inclusion is Joe Pietersen.  Playing in a fast-moving abckline that would add some punch to their attacking play.  
There are some unknowns in the squad and one would like to see how the youngsters in particular develop.  

 Mike it looks like the Cheetahs can put  a good team on the park. I am not acquainted with the lessor named players. 
Britz also is a nice acquistion. Joe must be getting on.Yes Cheetahs lost some quality players - include Marcell van Der Merwe as well last year.
I expect to see som e very good running rugby from the Cheetahs. 

Beeno
Joe must be around 30-31 in age now.   I think he was 29 when he left the WP set-up 2 years ago.
I think Britz is a top class loosie - a vry ahard worker.   They also have Brussow and Cooke.   Not sure how they are going to use Mohoje.
