The Toyota Cheetahs return to Europe on Tuesday for Rounds 3 and 4 of the EPCR Challenge Cup against Ulster Rugby and Racing 92.  

After a short festive break back in South Africa, the Toyota Cheetahs return to Amsterdam, where they face Ulster Rugby at the NRCA Stadium on Sunday, 11 January. The action gets underway at 16:15 (17:15 SA time) and will be live on SuperSport.
