Cheetahs vs Reds

The Cheetahs havn't won a single game this season so far and they'll do well to end higher than 10th by the end of the tournament. But they have lost a number of close games so far, often losing in the dying minutes. The Cheetahs are due a win and with the return of their influential captain Juan Smith, they'll have their best chance against the Reds.

The Reds have been a bit up and down this season so far, winning their first match against the Highlanders but then losing three on the trot before thumping the Bulls and drawing with the Lions. They're quite solid at home but not the best travellers and should come up short against the Cheetahs.

Prediction: Cheetahs by at least 10.
