  "account": "The winless Bulls will face the confident Cheetahs in a round five Currie Cup match at Loftus Versfeld on Sunday, with the Cheetahs currently leading the standings. The Bulls have lost all four of their matches and have a points differential of minus 69, while the Cheetahs have won four games and are flying high. Faf de Klerk, a double World Cup winner, will miss the game due to a shoulder injury, a significant blow for the travel team. The Bulls will make changes to their lineup, moving Devon Williams to No 10 and shifting Keagan Johannes back to scrumhalf.",
  "summary": "The Bulls have failed to win so far in the competition, while the Cheetahs are looking for their fourth win in five matches.",
