The Cheetahs remain unbeaten after powering to their ninth Currie Cup win of the season with a 44-15 victory over the Sharks in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
They started the game in hot pursuit of the Bulls who had played one game more and got the job done against Etienne Fynn's Sharks team who had to operate under pressure for most of the match.
Cheetahs scrumhalf Ruan Pienaar mostly took smart decisions, while flyhalf Siya Masuku provided some impetus from first receiver. It helped set up a 24-10 lead for the Cheetahs at the break, and they could have been further ahead had the Sharks not at times stood their ground. His impact upon his return to the team was immediate. It was he who breached the Sharks defence and proved hard to put down in setting up the opening try for lock Victor Sekekete.
