The road to qualification for the 2025 Currie Cup kicks off in Mpumalanga this week with the start of the second edition of the SA Cup.
Ten provincial sides will battle it out for supremacy and the prestigious trophy, and four places at the top table of the oldest competition in rugby. The first match is on Friday when Pumas host the SWD Eagles at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit.
Valke and EP meet at the Barnard Stadium in Kempton Park and another competitive meeting is in the offering between these two rivals, especially after EP managed to pull off a last-gasp 31-27 victory in last year’s opening round. However, the Bolanders, who are coached by former Free State mentor Hawies Fourie, are an extremely difficult customer at home, which will present the Cheetahs with a tough away assignment.
