Griquas Form

Defending Carling Currie Cup champions, the Griquas, bounced back to their best in their clash against the Bulls last weekend, winning 56-26 at home after leading 28-19 at half-time.

Before that performance, the team from Kimberley lost their opening match of the season away to the Stormers, going down 25-19.

The Suzuki Griquas are fourth in the Currie Cup table with six points from two matches.

Cheetahs Form

The Cheetahs registered back-to-back victories in the 2026 Currie Cup after a late surge saw the home side beat the Sharks 43-21, with the score level at 14-14 at the break.

Before that, the Free State Cheetahs got over the line in their season opener against the Lions, winning 29-27 at home after slotting a late penalty.

The Toyota Cheetahs are first in the Currie Cup standings with ten points after two rounds.

The Cheetahs have won both their fixtures in the competition, but now play away from home for the first time this season against a Griquas side that performed well last weekend, and they lost to their opponents by 20 points in their last meeting.
