The Pumas host the Cheetahs in round 9 of the ABSA Currie Cup at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit.
The home side lie in 6th position on the log with three wins and five defeats from their eight matches. The Pumas are coming off a 50-19 thumping at the hands of Western Province and will need maximum points from this encounter if they are to keep their slim hopes of making the semi-finals alive.
The visiting Cheetahs may also have three wins and five defeats this season, but they have picked up more bonus points and sit in 4th spot in the overall standings. They might also be coming off a hiding, a 73-31 defeat to the unbeaten Lions, but are aware that a victory will all but secure them a semi-final position.
