SA CUP TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT: Toyota Cheetahs vs Suzuki Griquas in Kimberley

The Toyota Cheetahs are travelling to Kimberley on Saturday to face the Griquas. The Toyota Cheetahs, Griquas and Pumas have already punched their tickets for the semi-finals—but the final spot is still up for grabs. The Sanlam Boland Kavaliers (27 points), NovaVit Griffons (26), and the Valke (25) are locked in a fierce battle, each determined to seize their moment and keep their title hopes alive.

The teams that managed to end in the top four positions after this weekend’s ninth round qualify for the forthcoming Carling Currie Cup Premier Division, while the rest will battle each other in the First Division.

The match at the Suzuki Stadium in Kimberley kicks off at 15:00 and will be streamed live onto DSTV OTT channel 950 (app and website).

Director of Rugby and Head Coach of the Toyota Cheetahs, Frans Steyn, announced several changes to his team from last week’s game against the Border Bulldogs.
