Cheetahs want to neutralise Morne Steyn

morne-steynAccording to statistics the Cheetahs have the recipe to take the excellent penalty kicking of Morne Steyn out of the equation – excellent discipline.

The simple recipe, which none of the All Blacks, Wallabies, British and Irish Lions or other Currie Cup teams could come up with this year, is outstanding discipline.

The Cheetahs have conceded only 129 penalties to date in this year’s Currie Cup, which is fewer than any other team. The Blue Bulls have been penalised 23 more times than the Free Staters.

In fact, the Bulls have conceded the third most penalties in the competition.

Western Province, who ironically lost their semifinal against the Bulls by conceding a late penalty at Newlands, conceded the fewest penalties after the Cheetahs with 135.

The Lions (141), Sharks (157) and Griquas (165) all conceded more penalties than the Cheetahs.
