The Cheetahs produced the result of the round, after being 20-10 down at half time to the Sharks in Durban, the odds was stacked against them. But 2 second half tries secured a 26-27 victory. The Cheetahs picked up 5pts. The top of the table looks like its taking shape already, with us only being 2 weeks in. Are these going to be the top four for the playoffs? Lets hope that teams like the Blues can show some of their potential and start turning the top sides over to make it a close race for the playoffs.
