Hello and welcome to today's match between the Free State Cheetahs and the Blue Bulls, live from Free State Stadium, Bloemfontein. The Cheetahs will look to build on a bonus point victory against the EP Kings last week and force their way into 3rd spot overall. The Bulls have had a season to forget thus far, but still have a chance to sneak into the semi-finals if they are able to record some big victories in their remaining matches. Both teams have a lot to play for which makes it a mouth watering affair. Cheetahs coach Rory Duncan welcomes Coenie Ooshuizen, Rayno Benjamin and Jean Cook back to the starting lineup after returning from injuries, while Blue Bulls coach has made six changes, of which four of them are Springboks. Notably captain Deon Stegmann has returned from his suspension to lead the team tonight.
