It is a stunning day for rugby in Wellington, braaivleis, sunny sky’s and Chevrolet’s.

The Cheetahs crushed a hapless Boland side 55-10. The Freestaters cruised to quite an easy victory, never really being tested by the Bolanders. Only at scrum time did the Bolanders have the better of the Freestaters with the moving of Oosthuizen from Lossehead to Tighthead not working. Man of the match Ashley Johnson was moved from the back of the scrum to hooker.

The win and the Sharks hard fought victory in Kimberly ensures that the Cheetahs will play in the semi finals.
