...A bit of a dilemma facing Dave Rennie this week , whether to field his A team or B team against the Cheetahs - given the Warriors have a Champions Cup match six days later against Exeter the trip to SA has come at a bad time...
...what is Rennie's priority Pro 14 or the European campaign ? - risky business fielding a B team against the Cheetahs on their home turf...still there will be a temptation to rest players which could play into the Cheetahs hands...
Selection headaches aside for Glasgow, there is also altitude to contend with....not to mention the four hour drive from Joberg on the day due to lack of accomodation...apparently everything is booked out because of cricket, Currie Cup and some music event... 
So a b ig test for Glasgow to remain the only Pro 14 team unbeaten this year thus far...
Likewise the Cheetahs will want to keep their unbeaten record at home intact..

 Brycy
I had the same accommodation problem in Bloem at one stage and then went on to stay in the holiday Inn in Kimberley an 1,5 hours drive away.   Why does the team not stay in Kimberley instead if the driving is such a problem?
Rennie will have a problem in selecting his team against the Cjheetahs I think the Cheetahs will be strengthened sooner rather than later and it could cause future losses for NH teams having to play away games.    
I thought that Leister would beat the Cheetahs - yet they lost by a wide margin.   Leinster also suffered their first loss against the Cheetahs  and the question remains - can Glaagow beat them away?

 ...Looks like Glasgow are fielding a strong team and mean business --fans on both sides are confident of a win - the Cheetahs being favourites with the bookies...game on

...Another famous win for Dave Rennie and his Glasgow Warriors to remain undefeated in the Pro 14...former Hurricanes loosie Callum Gibbins nabbing a double...great game of running rugby and thoroughly entertaining...bad day at the office for the Cheetahs after two wins last week - two losses this week, such is life...

 Brycy it was a tight result and the forwards of Glasgow wqas sub-standard,   I agree though that Rennie did a top class job with the passing and attacking game of Glasgow,   
Gibbins was very good and it shows his NZ background.   Some of the Scopttish internationals (there were 5 of them in the Glasgow team - was anything but good enough,
If Gibbins stay ling enough with Glasgow he c ould qualify for selection by Scotland - must be in the back of his mind.

 ...Glasgow will be stronger with Hogg returning from injury next week for their European Champions Cup game against Exeter - speaking of which there is a ECC fantasy comp starting in six days that we all played last year if you want to reactivate the forum's league...on the negative side the scrummaging was poor and the lineout throwing was also bad - it was an ugly win but tis a sign of a good team if you can play like sh!t and still win...
