Race is on for play-off spots

The Currie Cup has been closely contested this year, with most teams playing excellent rugby, and only two or three that have truly struggled.

With teams gunning for the top four spots to reach play-offs, and top one and two spots to host said play-offs, it's all on the line.

Fans may even see more United Rugby Championship (URC) players featuring in the final two rounds before play-offs.

The only fixture played today is perhaps the most significant of the weekend. Table leaders Cheetahs host Griquas (third, though just one point below them) at 5pm, with each side on a four-game winning streak.
