The Toyota Cheetahs showed off their attacking skills in the Currie Cup Premier as they powered their way to the top of the standings thanks to a 10-try romp against Tafel Lager Griquas in a gripping third round this weekend.
The Free Staters’ 68-14 victory marked their second bonus-point win in as many weeks, and it ensured that they remained one of only two unbeaten teams. The other unbeaten outfit is the Xerox Golden Lions, who pipped DHL Western Province 30-28 in an epic clash in Cape Town on July 27.
In Friday’s game, the Vodacom Blue Bulls earned their first win as they held their nerve in a tight tussle against the Phakisa Pumas in Nelspruit for a 25-17 win.
In the Currie Cup First Division, the Jaguares XV continued to show their class as they earned their fourth successive victory, while Boland also gave a good account of themselves in an exciting round.
The Jaguares XV powered their way to a 54-15 win against the EP Kings in Port Elizabeth, while Boland outplayed the SWD Eagles 32-3 in George, the Leopards defeated Border 38-29 in Potchefstroom, and the Valke and Down Touch Griffons played to a nail-biting 31-31 draw in Brakpan.
