Anticipated Outcomes for Round 6 of the Currie Cup Competition
Currie Cup 2025: Week Six Preview
The Currie Cup 2025 continues this weekend with a series of exciting matches, including the Central derby between the Cheetahs and Griquas on Friday evening.
Quintin van Jaarsveld, the Cheetahs' coach, has predicted a victory for his team against Griquas, following their impressive form in recent weeks. However, the Griquas will be buoyed by their 21-point win over the Bulls last weekend, a result that left the Bulls' assistant coach Josh Strauss to pick up the pieces.
The Cheetahs and Griquas clash at 17:00 on Friday, 29 August. This match is expected to be a physical battle, with both teams boasting dominant set pieces and driving mauls. The Cheetahs have won four consecutive matches after losing in Round One, while Griquas have also been in fine form, winning five games in a row. The Cheetahs defeated the Lions 47-31, while Griquas beat the Bulls 42-21 in their last matches.
Meanwhile, the Cheetahs' rivals, the Lions, will face the Bulls on Saturday at 15:00. The Bulls, who have lost three consecutive matches after starting their campaign with two wins, will be desperate for a victory to keep their semi-final hopes alive. The Lions, who have been winless and are rooted to the bottom of the log, have been making silly mistakes and daft decision-making, which they will need to rectify if they are to challenge the Bulls.
Elsewhere, the Pumas will take on Boland Kavaliers in a match that could go either way. The Pumas are one point behind the Lions in fifth place, while Boland Kavaliers have proven they can win on the road, having staged a comeback from a 26-3 deficit to win against the Pumas last weekend.
In another intriguing matchup, the Sharks XV will look to build on their first win of the season against Western Province. Bradley Davids was pivotal for the Sharks XV in their win, with the team making 34 kicks out of hands compared to Western Province's 26. Western Province have been struggling this season, with their poor form highlighted by their defeat to the Sharks XV last weekend.
Finally, Boland Kavaliers should continue their winning streak in Pietermaritzburg, where they take on the struggling Western Province. The Pumas, who conceded a penalty try and a yellow card in their loss against Boland last weekend, will be hoping to bounce back with a victory.
The Currie Cup 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting competition, with the Cheetahs and Griquas leading the way with their impressive form. The race for the semi-finals is heating up, and every match promises to be a thrilling contest.
