Pumas vs Cheetahs Preview


The Cheetahs are looking in ominous form after a slow two years at the union. On the other hand the Pumas struggled in their last outing. My best bet is for the visitors to win by more than eight points.

Head to Head


Cheetahs have won five of their last seven matches against the Pumas. It was however the Pumas who were victorious when they met last season.

Pumas Form


Pumas have managed just one win from their opening three matches. They are fifth on the table but with the season still quite new, they have every opportunity to still make the semi’s.

In round one the Pumas went down 33-19 at the Bulls before thrashing the Lions 50-9 at home in the second week.

The Pumas went into round three against the Griquas in Kimberley as favourites but were thoroughly outplayed. They left Kimbeley with a 41-20 defeat and no points whatsoever.

Pumas Team News


Eddie Fouche replaces Tinus de Beer at flyhalf. De Beer shifts to the bench.

Cheetahs Form


The Cheetahs are second on the Currie Cup table after two matches. Both of those ended in victory and they are one point off top with a game in hand.

They began their season with a 30-20 win over the Griquas on home soil. As expected it was a scrappy affair but the Cheetahs quality was too much in the end.

Last time out the Cheetahs upset the odds by beating the Bulls 38-25 away. It was a massive bonus point success which will give the Bloemfontein side plenty confidence heading into round four.

Cheetahs Team News


Hawies Fourie has been forced into one change. That sees Daniel Kasende come into the side at right wing with Rosko Specman shifting to left wing.
