Final whistle here and the Cheetahs have a deserved, well-earned win. Bulls didn't show enough initiative or imagination for a team who needed to win with four tries. Cheetahs dominated throughout and march into the semi-final. We hope you enjoyed our coverage and look forward to bringing you more top flight action.

TRY CHEETAHS! Adriaan Strauss is a popular try scorer to round off a great individual performance. A loose ball is hacked through and the hooker showed good pace skill and strength to beat JJ Engelbrecht to the ball and touch down.

No score since the 53 minute.

Ugly moment in the game as Cheetahs replacement Schalk van der Merwe is red-carded for a horrendous dangerous tackle.

Game is lacking all intensity and flow right now as both sides use their benches. Cheetahs seems content as they look like they're safe to go through now while the Bulls have all but given up on their hopes of winning with a bonus point.

TRY CHEETAHS. Elgar Watts get's his side 2nd try of the game with what has to be described as a gift from his opposite number. Handre Pollard tried to chip over the top but Watts gathered and raced in under the posts. He adds his own conversion. 17-7 the score.

Bulls back to their full compliment with Rudy Paige finished his 10 minutes in the bin.

Back underway for the second half. The Bulls will want to take the momentum from the end of the first half into the second half and strike early.

Leke Marcel. En dit met n geel kaart....

TRY BLUE BULLS. Eventually the Bulls cross for their first try of the game and it's Marcel Van Der Merwe who crashes over from close range to score. The Bulls kept up the pressure on the Cheetahs line after their mistake at the line-out and after a number of phases and a penalty being awarded, the prop burrowed his way over right on the stroke of half-time. Handre Pollard converts. 10-7 the half-time score.
