Watts with the last kick of the game earns the Cheetahs a bonus point. A real game of two halves with a flurry of tries in the second half from both sides, compared with the shootout between opposing outhalves in the first. The Cheetahs will be disappointed with the loss tonight, where errors in defense really let them down. By no means a perfect performance from the Hurricanes tonight but a deserved 5 points for the away side.
