The Cheetahs play their final Currie Cup game on Saturday against Griquas in Kimberley, but having being knocked out of the competition before the playoffs stage, they will face an extended break after this weekend. The Cheetahs have been thrown out of ProRugby, with the four other “big teams”, the Bulls, Lions, Sharks and Stormers, set to join ProRugby and a new Rainbow Cup competition later in the year. The decision to axe the Cheetahs has left the Bloemfontein-based franchise with no competition to play in.

“The players will take the next three weeks off after this weekend, meaning we will get together again on February 3,” he said.Meanwhile, in team news ahead of the side’s final outing in Kimberley, young George Cronje replaces Oupa Mohoje, who has a back injury, wing Duncan Saal comes in for Rhyno Smith, and hooker Marnus van der Merwe replaces Wilmar Arnoldi .
