The Cheetahs are at home for their final round-robin game of the season.
Will they rack up enough points against the lowly Bolanders to ensure they end third?

Cheetahs should have prayed for rain. The played better at the Wellington Stadium where it was wet. Maybe they shouldn’t have complained after that match. Seems they can’s score a much better margin when it is dry. 😀
