[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 874882, member: 40658"] Yeah, I think altitude isn't being taken as seriously as it should be, and has been partially the downfall of the teams that visited Bloem. You could see that in most of those games, the Cheetahs hit their stride in the second half, and are usually behind on points at half time. But not only that, I think the Cheetahs are adapting rather well to their opponents playing style, and have also done a few tweaks to their own play. I think as the tournament progresses, we will see if they are ***le contenders. Cheetahs are poor travellers though, but does have the knack of getting an upset win away from home. The other issue is that in due time, some of their injured players will return, like Niel Marais and Fred Zeilinga. Although, Stapelberg has been rather impressive so far. The other thing is the question on whether the Cheetahs might bolster their squad with new signings? So far it's been dead quiet in SA with regard to signings and transfers. But my guess is that in the next few weeks, we will be seeing some changes. Especially as the Currie Cup is getting close to the playoffs, and Super Rugby Franchises starts their preparation for next year. [/QUOTE]
