Cheetahs Betting and Odds

Cheetahs and Bok fans will be hoping that Juan Smith recovers from injury this season. In tandem with Heinrich Brussow and with the always energetic Ashley Johnson at number 8, opposition coaches will always be worried about the Cheetahs.

The loss of Sarel Pretorius and Riaan Viljoen can not be underestimated. Pretorius was the competition's top try scorer and will be hard to replace.

Avoiding the South African wooden spoon will be tough for the Cheetahs,

Prediction and Players to Watch

People get optimistic about the Cheetahs because when they are on, they are one of the best sides to watch. Sadly we don't expect them to find a way to win more regularly, and they will once again find themselves at the bottom end of the log, not before upsetting a few of the big guns. Look out for Johan Goosen. Free Staters will tell you this is the best young 10 in SA in 100 years.
