The Cheetahs secured a 62-52 victory over the Bulls in this Currie Cup encounter, extending their strong recent form with a fourth win in their last five matches. The result continues a difficult period for the Bulls, who have now lost six consecutive fixtures across all competitions.
The 10-point margin represents the Cheetahs’ seventh victory in their last 11 meetings with the Bulls, improving their head-to-head record to six wins from 10 encounters, with the Bulls holding three victories and one draw between the sides.
The Bulls’ current losing streak stands in sharp contrast to their opponents’ consistency, with the Cheetahs having won four of their previous five matches heading into this fixture. The home side were unable to reverse their fortunes despite playing at their own ground, conceding 62 points in a high-scoring affair that saw 114 total points.
The result maintains the Cheetahs’ recent dominance in this fixture, having now won six of the 10 all-time meetings between these Currie Cup rivals.
