Currie Cup semi-final fixtures confirmed

The Bulls will play Griquas under Friday night lights while the Cheetahs serve the big sporting Saturday aperitif when they host the Pumas in the Currie Cup semi-finals.

The Cheetahs finished top of the Currie Cup log after putting a five-try 35-5 demolition over the Bulls during the final Currie Cup regular season round in Bloemfontein last weekend, which put the sky blues second.

It means that the top-placed finishers face fourth-placed Pumas, who lost a nail-biter to Griquas in Mbombela last Friday night to finish third and set a date with the second-placed Bulls.

Friday night's game at Loftus kicks off at 19:00, while Saturday's in Bloemfontein kicks off at 13:30, six hours before the big United Rugby Championship final between the Stormers and Bulls.
