In the midst of the Rugby World Cup Euphoria the local tournament is still on.
The Vodacom Blue Bulls travel to Bloemfontein where they have to tough task of trying to get their Absa Currie Cup campaign back on track against the resurgent Toyota Free State Cheetahs.
The Blue Bulls linger in sixth position on the Absa Currie Cup Premier Division log and will have to get back on the winning track if they are not going to miss out on the play-offs for the first time in 10 years.
On Friday evening, the MTN Golden Lions host the GWK Griquas and will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the table, but it won’t be easy against a team that have been playing good rugby this season.
Saturday’s first two games see the Ford Pumas travel to Durban to face The Sharks and DHL Western Province host the Platinum Leopards in Cape Town.
The front runners in the Absa Currie Cup First Division, EP Kings and the Regent Boland Cavaliers, are on the road this weekend.
