Currie Cup cross-section fixtures take place this weekend as the race for top-four honours is getting more intense with the playoffs looming.
The second round of Currie Cup cross-section fixtures take place this weekend as the race for top-four honours is getting more intense as the knockout-phase creeps ever closer.
When the action kicks off on Friday evening at Loftus Versfeld, the Vodacom Bulls will be up against a Suzuki Griquas side desperate to improve on their two wins so far. DHL WP have already handed debuts to SA U20 captain Zachary Porthen , Divan Fuller and JC Mars in recent weeks, while their Junior Boks teammates from a few weeks ago, Batho Hlekani , Ethan Bester , Litelihle Bester and Jurenzo Julius have been impressive recently for the Hollywoodbets Sharks XV.Former Springbok and nowadays Director of Rugby for the Toyota Cheetahs, Frans Steyn, this week branded the match between the Free Staters and the Fidelity ADT Lions in Bloemfontein as a “big cat fight”.
In Sunday’s last encounter of the round, Jimmy Stonehouse’s Airlink Pumas will also be eager for a win over the NovaVit Griffons when they meet in Welkom, after the team from Mpumalanga’s last win was in round four, almost a month ago.
