The Vodacom Cheetahs will take on the Reds this Friday, 26 of March at Vodacom Park, kick-off 19:10.

This will also be the last for the Vodacom Cheetahs before they leave on Saturday, 27 March for the tough part of the Vodacom Super 14 competition in Australasia.  The next home game will be against the Blues on the 1st  of May.

No curtain raiser will be played on Friday and gates will open at 17:00.

    1 – Smallies, Still not a bad team. Only Demas is not in the same class as Mapoe, Hendro Scholtz not the same as Brussow. Still Cheetahs could beat the Reds.

    So GO CHEETAHSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

    Good luck to your team and I hope they win Smallies.

    4 – Smallies, Reds are playing some good rugby, but at altitude feel Cheetahs even without their 3 top players out injured, could still beat the Reds.
