GO CHEETAHS!
Have seen Dragons scrumhalf Sarel Pretorious is heading back to South Africa he will be joining the Kings for next seasons PRO14.
Meanwhile Uzair Cassiem is heading in the opposite direction. Going to Wales next season to join Scarlets. Wonder if that means he has given up on his chance to play for the Boks.
Players out on the field!

Hello Bully!
I’m watching from bed already…
Worked through the night last night till 05:30 this morning, then took a quick powernap till about 07:30 and was back hard at work whilst doing this morning’s rugby games..
… and Super Rugby already starts at 06:00 in the morning, so I will sleep hard straight after this game.
I am positively knackered!
Drop Goal by Arwel Robson for the Dragons…
Dragons 10 / 3 Cheetahs
Cheetahs scrum penalty again… the Dragons scrum is really pathetic…
Cheetahs penalty, about 10m out…
TMO to check something reported by a Touch Judge…
Will be a penalty against the Cheetahs lock… leading with the shoulder and without arms into the ruck…
Scrappy play both ways… looks a bit wet… not badly so…
Dragons penalty, against Ox Nshe… offside… on about halfway.
Kicked for touch.
Dragons penalty 5m out… against Ox again and also against No 7, Oupa Mahoje.
Another 5m penalty, popped into the corner.
Great Cheetahs defence… Dragons tackled and carried back.
Then the Dragons knock…
