These two teams are bottom of the Africa 1 conference, and have not had the best run of results. The Cheetahs are on 11 points after 11 games and a bonus point win for the visitors could see them temporarily replacing the Bulls in 2nd place. The Bulls take on the Hurricanes at Loftus later this afternoon. The home side are struggling at the bottom of the Africa 1 conference having only managed 7 points from 10 games. That said , the Sunwolves are very difficult to topple in front of their home support. This could be quite a physical encounter as the Cheetahs desperately need this victory. Ultimate Rugby will keep you posted on all the events, scores and match commentary for this one.
