Groom clears the ball into touch, and the referee brings a close to proceedings. A frustrated Cheetah side departs after an incredibly close encounter. They'll be disappointed to have conceded the lead so late in the game. The weather made life difficult for Province, who struggled to profit from their lions share of possession, but their pack ultimately proved the difference. Thanks for joining us, see you next time!

Piet Van Zyl looks to have butchered the Cheetahs final attacking opportunity with a horrific pass. Groom feeds the WP scrum - seconds remain..

With minutes to go, WP steal the lead. They win a penalty and boot for the corner. Line-out ball is secured and a rolling maul constructed. Slowly but surely the maul grinds towards the elusive Cheetah whitewash before Captain Fourie crashes over from the rear. Coleman pulls the kick wide - one point the difference!

The ref is blind

Western Province earn a penalty at scrum-time and opt for the quick tap, but a wayward pass gifts Sadie with an intercept. He looks to be through for a try, but the referee decides the Cheetahs hadnt retreated ten metres. Another WP penalty.

The rain is bucketing down now in DHL Newlands, and the conditions are really taking a toll on the players - neither side managing to strong together more than 7 or 8 phases. Province have looked the dominant side this half, but are struggling to reflect it on the scoreboard. The score remains 14-10 to Cheetahs, 64 minutes gone.

The kicking contest continues - both sides showing reluctance to run from deep. WP looking the more dangerous side, with Aplon, Kolbe and Howard prominent in the attack.

A cross-field kick from Aplon finds Howard on the wing. But a well structured WP defence arrives in time to bundle the young centre into touch - signalling the half time whistle. Both sides scramble for shelter after an eventful forty minutes.

After ten minutes of punctuated, scrappy rugby, Steven Kitshoff is served yellow for a dangerous clear-out in the ruck - Major setback for Province who were beginning to find their stride.

The big lock forward Micheal Rodes scoops up a wayward line-out ball and bolts down field with impressive pace to score his sides first try. Van Aswegen adds the extras and takes his side to within four points - WP starting to find some rhythm after a shaky first quarter.
