Last weekend was their best performance in weeks, without even playing. Getting 4 points for the bye, they passed the Sharks who lost to the Bulls. With matches left against the Western Force, the Waratahs and the Blues, it seems they can win at least 2, including this weekend's match where they face the Lions. A match between the 2 has never been won by the visiting side since the Lions seperated from the Cheetahs in 2006. This will be the 4th time the Lions travel to the Otago area.
