Currie Cup round-up: Griquas, Cheetahs remain in front, Bulls all but out now
The Bulls scored eight tries in a losing cause, and now only have the smallest mathematical chance of reaching the play-offs.
The Cheetahs and Griquas are currently tied at the top of the Currie Cup standings after two consecutive rounds, while the Bulls have been eliminated from play-off contention. On Sunday, the Cheetahs defeated the Bulls 62-52 in a thrilling match at Loftus Versfeld, with Michael Annies, Cohen Jasper, and Prince Nkabinde each scoring two tries for the Cheetahs.
The Griquas also secured a fourth consecutive win, winning 55-21 against the Sharks at home. The Lions and Stormers will need wins in their final two games to qualify for the play-offs, while the Boland Cavaliers bounced back from two losses to defeat the Lions 38-29 at Wits Rugby Stadium. In the upcoming matches, the Pumas will face the Griquas in Mbombela, the Bulls will play the Stormers in Johannesburg, and the Sharks will host the Lions in Pietermaritzburg.
