Looked like Cheetahs had the advantage, then two yellow cards at the same time and Treviso are making it count. 20-16.
And Cheetahs grab a LBP at the death 27-21.

Interestingly, most bookies have Treviso slight favourites to beat Cheetahs tomorrow, which is a reflection of their poor away form. Conventional wisdom seems to be that they will pick up two wins against Kings in the postponed games, but Kings have been coming achingly close to a maiden victory so they could take one. Of Cheetahs' six games between now and Connacht's trip to Bloemfontein, five are away, so if we can beat Ospreys and Zebre at home and Treviso away, we might be close enough to them when we play them.
Don't entirely fancy our chances out there but if were playing for the chance to make a visit to the top 3, it would add a nice bit of spice to the encounter.
I'll wear my Treviso hat to Thomond tomorrow.

In the Welsh derbies, Scarlets kept up their end of the deal by beating conference rivals Ospreys and Blues for us (just about on both occasions), but Dragons let us down by losing to them both at home (Connacht and Kings are the only teams Dragons have beaten).
Could have really done with at least one Dragons win. Blues visit the Liberty next. You would hope Ospreys will win to keep Blues in our sights, but if that happens, Ospreys come right back into it and if Connacht don't pick up a win on their jaunts to Dublin and Limerick we might be only 2-4 points ahead of Ospreys when they visit the Sportsground on Feb 9th, which would make for an interesting match to put it mildly.
