CHEETAHS

LOCATION: Bloemfontein, South Africa

COACH: Naka Drotske

2011 RESULT: 11th

TEAM RUNDOWN: The boys from Bloem have lost their dangerous halfback Sarel Pretorious to the Waratahs but will again take a refreshing attacking mindset into 2012 following flashes of brilliance last year. They will undoubtedly go up a gear if they can finally get both injury-plagued flankers Juan Smith and Heinrich Brussow playing together.
