First Division:
The Free State Women await the Leopards who will be travelling for the first time after three home games in a match that could prove to be the best of the round. The home side have been on fire, beating all their opponents handsomely, but the Leopards have the ability to make it uncomfortable for the home side.
The SWD Eagirls take their campaign to Oudtshoorn - a venue where they had good results in the past - and according to current form, they should be entertaining the Recreational Sports Stadium crowd with a lot of tries.
Limpopo Blue Bulls Women are also at home, and that should be a huge advantage for them in their match against neighbours, Pumas Women. The Limpopo side are ahead of the Pumas by points difference only on the log, so this could be a very competitive encounter.
Valke Women are the favourites in their match against Griquas Women. The visiting players are travelling from home bases as far as Springbok and Calvinia and the long haul to Johannesburg could be taxing. The Valke are improving game by game and will be hard to beat at home.
