Notes
Quotes from Director of Rugby, Jake White.

“We have the least number of points scored against us in the competition, the team with the best defensive record and interestingly enough, they have the highest number of points for, although they have the highest number of points scored against them as well. As a coach, you know they are dangerous with ball in hand but there are opportunities to score against them because they are so attack orientated.

“What they’ve gone for is all-out attack, so when they turn the ball over, players aren’t in a defensive mindset or positions, so they can leak tries. But the most important thing for us is that it is an opportunity for us to play against another team with a different style. The Reds have a unique style, the Bulls have a unique style, the Waratahs have a unique style and this Cheetahs side obviously have a style that suits them and works for them. But they probably haven’t had the reward they want.”
