The famous former Springbok and Cheetah Frans Steyn has switched to a coaching role at the Cheetahs and he says he did not have a good start against Boland last week.
In a partnership that brings new meaning to 'backing' a winner, leading South African sports betting platform YesPlay has announced their sponsorship of the Free State Cheetahs, featuring prominently on the team's shorts.
Former Springboks coach Allister Coetzee has returned home to Eastern Province, his career coming full circle after serving the union as a player and as a coach in the past.
IOL Sport understands that Cornal Hendricks will join Boland after his trophy-laden stint with the Bulls has ended following a miraculous return to rugby in 2019.
Jordan Hendrikse, who made his Springboks debut against Wales earlier this year, moved down from the Lions to the Sharks earlier this year to join his brother, Jaden.
The conditions didn’t make the kick easy, but the Sharks’ Jordan Hendrikse kept his cool and slotted the penalty to sink the Lions in the Currie Cup final.
Sharks coach John Plumtree says his charges will give their all in the Currie Cup final against the Lions at Ellis Park on Saturday.
Quite incredibly the Sharks were reduced to 12 men in the final stages of regulation time, but still managed to find a way to force extra time and ultimately book their spot in the trophy match.
Though the Lions came out on top 43-34 in a high-scoring affair, it looked like the Cheetahs might have had their number in the early stages of the contest.
