Cape Town - Sport24 highlights 5 talking points after the third weekend's action of Super Rugby:
1. Joe Pietersen key to Cheetahs success
Joe Pietersen has been a revelation at flyhalf for the Cheetahs in his two games for the Bloemfontein franchise. Pietersen was recruited in the off-season from France to fill the void left by Johan Goosen, and the former Stormers player played a key role in the Cheetahs' first two victories of the competition. He kicked a 79th minute penalty to help his team beat the Blues 25-24 last Friday. He was again tactically astute, while his clever-cross kick led to a spectacular try scored by wing Cornal Hendricks.
