With only two full rounds left the focus is now fully on making the Guinness PRO14 Final Series.

The Toyota Cheetahs will be facing Munster in Round 20 on Friday, 13 April. Kick-off is at 19:35 (SA time) in Toyota Stadium with live broadcast on SuperSport and Sky Sports. Gates open at 17:00.

Apart from the excitement brought by Guinness PRO14, Leah will be performing at the Castle Deck and DJ Shaxe will be providing entertainment before the game at The Spot. Supporters can enjoy quality food at the new Sparta Braai at the Castle Deck area.

There will be a moment of silence in honour of Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, who passed away on 2 April 2018. Winnie was a South African anti-apartheid activist and politician, and the ex-wife of Nelson Mandela.
