Prediction published on 25/05/2022, 15:41  by Indran in Currie Cup Predictions

The Griquas welcome the Cheetahs to Kimberly in this crunch match in the Currie Cup. The home team are in fourth position with 21 points from their nine matches while the visitors are in top position with 41 points also from nine matches. Griquas are locked in a battle for a semi-final place and lead the fifth placed Pumas only by a single point with three matches left to play. The home team will attempt to do what no team has achieved this far in the competition and that is to beat the high flying Cheetahs. Griquas have not been consistent this season and when they have had a win they have followed it up with a loss. They will be relying on their home ground advantage to carry them to victory in this match.

The Cheetahs are aiming to continue their unbeaten run with victory in this match. It will go a long way to securing a home semi-final and final if they do progress to that stage. They have had an advantage in this competition as four of the other major teams have been involved in the URC competition which has meant that they have not always fielded their strongest teams in the domestic tournament. The Cheetahs owe much of their success to Springboks Ruan Pienaar and Frans Steyn who have led the team brilliantly. The visitors dominance this season is epitomized by them gaining five bonus points for scoring four or more tries in their matches.
