Welcome to today’s coverage of the Vodacom Bulls vs the Toyota Cheetahs from Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria. The Bulls have returned from their disastrous tour to Australasia without a victory and are up against a Cheetahs outfit that impressed in their victory against the Stormers last week. Although the Cheetahs are arguably the more in-form team, anything can happen in this classic South African derby. A win for the Bulls will see them either remain in tenth position, or move into ninth if they record a bonus point victory, while the Cheetahs have the opportunity to leap frog into eleventh position overall as well as third within the South African conference. Ultimate Rugby will keep you up to date throughout the match.
