Cheetahs vs Sharks LIVE scores

The early Saturday afternoon clash in Bloemfontein is an important one, more so for the third-placed Sharks (24 points from nine games), who will be keen to create a bit of breathing space between them and the chasing pack on the log.

Meanwhile, the Cheetahs will be confident of bagging another home win on the back of that hard-fought 35-26 bonus-point away success over the Lions. That was their eighth win in a row which increased the Free Staters’ current tally to 36 points – just one behind the defending champions, the Bulls, who have played one game more.

A glance at the previous five meetings between these rivals reveals a 3-2 advantage to the Free Staters, including a 29-12 victory in Durban two months ago, while the KwaZulu-Natal outfit were on top 47-30 when they last met in Bloemfontein in July 2021.
