[QUOTE="rugby rulz, post: 1004776, member: 40546"] I am a bit unconvinced with the line up for the cheetahs. I think it would have been better to perhaps start Manjezi in Nortjé's place on lock to ensure that we grind them down a bit more as Manjezi is more physical and imposing than Nortjé. And then we can bring on Nortjé in the second half if the game becomes less tight, to play the role of a Francois Mostert with his work rate. I am also worried about our midfield combo as Hendricks hasn't really impressed me thus far. It wil be interesting to see the match up between Clinton Swart and Frans Steyn. I hope Papier can have a really good game, but I think a combo of Chris Smith and Papier would've been more potent. Unfortunately, Morné Steyn does not really offer anything on attack, but I hope he can also have a better game than he did against Griquas. In the end, the biggest threat is the Cheetahs backline. If we can keep the ball away from them for long enough periods then they won't run us of our feet from the get go. Our defense will be tested immensely, so I am interested to see how our defensive patterns can adapt. [/QUOTE]
