  • Cheetahs have won their last 2 matches against the Griffons.

Head to Head


When these two met in Bloemfontein in 2023, the Cheetahs cruised to a 33-10 success.

Cheetahs Form


The Cheetahs are the defending Currie Cup champions and are once again favoured to go deep into the competition this year.

Last year the Cheetahs topped the table with nine wins and a draw in their 14 fixtures. They went on to beat the Bulls at home in the semi-final and the Pumas in the final.

This season the Cheetahs faired decently in the European Challenge Cup but failed to get out of the group.

Cheetahs Injuries & Team News


The Cheetahs will put out their strongest available side for this Currie Cup opener.

Griffons Form


The Griffons finished bottom of the Currie Cup last season, winning just one of their 14 games. The other 13 all ended in defeat with a -306 points difference.

Unfortunately for the Northern Free State side, this is bound to be another tough year for them. They do not have the budgets to compete against the top sides.

Griffons Injuries & Team News


Griffons have some quality within their ranks, but squad depth will be a big concern as the season progresses.

Verdict

The Cheetahs are backed to comfortably clear the 16-point handicap.
