Teams taking to the field now and its Tian Meyer who leads out the Cheetahs onto the Newlands pitch

Newlands is the venue for this clash between Western Province and Free State Cheetahs. After two games the visitors are top of the log with two wins from two games. The Cheetahs winning both games with a bonus point and managing to score 11 tries in the process. Western Province have only played on game, and it is a game they would much rather forget and move swiftly along. The home side came short against a rampant Bulls team and will have to tighten up their defense should they have bigger aspirations for the rest of the campaign.
