The Toyota Cheetahs coach, Izak van der Westhuizen, has conceded that there are a lot of work-ons following their unsuccessful EPCR Challenge Cup campaign.
On Saturday the Cheetahs conceded ten tries as they were beaten 68-21 by the French Top14 club, and eliminated from the Challenge Cup.

Van der Westhuizen told OFM Sport that it’s important to continue learning and growing.
