Highlights: Golden Lions vs Free State Cheetahs

A rampant second half performance from the Lions saw them thrash the Cheetahs 44-17 in a do or die round 14 Currie Cup encounter. The Lions opened the scoring with an early try, before the Cheetahs hit back with a penalty to reduce the deficit. Two Lions penalties followed, but a late first half Cheetahs try saw them trail just 13-10 at the break. The Lions cut loose in the second half, crossing for four tries, while the Cheetahs ran in a single score of little consolation. The result sees the Lions finish third and book a semi-final spot, while the defending champion Cheetahs miss out on the top four.
