Springbok flanker, Oupa Mohoje will be leading the Toyota Cheetahs against the Kings on Saturday in Toyota Stadium.  This match will mark his 51^st game for the Toyota Cheetahs.  The second South African Guinness PRO Derby kicks off at 17:00 (SA time). The match will be broadcasted live on SuperSport 1 and in the UK and Ireland on Sky Sports Main Event.  

The Toyota Cheetahs will still be aiming to close the gap on second placed Munster in Conference A – a bonus point win will put them within three points of the Irish province.  “We need to focus on our standards – the detail and dissipline, the small things and what we need to do,” said Captain Oupa Mohoje.  “Derbies are always more personal and we are focussing on us and what we need to do to get our execution right.” 

It’s summer rugby in Toyota Stadium this Saturday when the Toyota Cheetahs take on the Kings at 17:00 in a Guinness PRO14 match.

Gates open at 15:30.  Bring your towel and cool off in the Twizza Dunk Tank next to the field.  Elandré will be providing entertainment at the Castle Deck after the match.
