Cheetahs to host Currie Cup final after trouncing woeful Bulls in Bloem | Sport

The Free State Cheetahs have booked their place in the 2023 Currie Cup final after trouncing the Bulls at Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein on Saturday. | Sport24news

The Free State Cheetahs beat the Bulls on Saturday to book their place in the Currie Cup final. The Cheetahs will now play either the Sharks or Pumas in the final.

The Bulls were desperate to win to salvage a disappointing season under coach Jake White, but they were poor throughout this one-sided affair. Goosen landed a penalty on 11 minutes, but even with the Cheetahs down to 14 men after tighthead prop Conraad van Vuuren yellow-carded, the Bulls could not break through.

Pienaar's third penalty of the day shortly after the restart put the Cheetahs 23-3 up, but the Bulls finally got some reward from their maul on 50 minutes when hooker Johan Grobbelaar went over to make it 23-10.
