Hakwa: yes they are fun to watch, I haven't missed one of their games yet. Still surprised that a team with the Cheetahs style is an SA team but glad they exist. The comp needs teams like the Canes & Cheetahs.
I also like the Lions but for a different reason. The Lions are such underdogs that have attitude so even though I generally don't like teams that depend on the boot to win with this Lions team they play with guts, and we are always on the edge of our seats waiting to see if they can pull out another win. So the Lions are also exciting but in a different way.

It is great to watch the Cheetas. I would rather watch them losing playing rugby than a team like the Stormers win playing no rugby.
Not sure what the Cheetas do different at training than other SA teams, but they seem to have much better passing skills in the backline than the other SA teams. In their most recent game against Aukland, they played a reserve wing at inside game who had a great game as a creator, with long passes and quality running lines.
I thought the Bulls vs Sharks game was disappointing with all the poor kicking, and it just became a stale mate until the Bulls forwards took the advantage
The Cheetas just need to sort out their defence like last year and also their ruck play.

yes, cheetahs are most exciting, but also the most defensively woeful, at least they go down punching.
lions are the best team to watch, everyone loves an underdog, and they have been the giant killers in 2014.
stormers are the most boring team in the entire world, kaiser chiefs dont kick the ball as much as those walking sleeping pills.
sharks are the most dangerous team, they have a very complete team who are solid on attack, defence and smart with their rugby efficiency.
a team full fo solid form players and a decent caoch, very complete package.
bulls are solid, and in loftus they are strong, but they are a poor mans sharks team in every regard.

Spot on Sasu - The Cheetahs do go down punching. Great Team and great bunch of guys. Humble but talented. They ran some beautiful lines.
As for the Lions - wonder who will win if the Lions meet the Force? Will they meet this season at all?
