Guinness PRO14 is set to resume on 21 Augusts but at this point, no dates have been fixed for the Guinness PRO14 derby games between the Toyota Cheetahs and the Isuzu Southern Kings. Due to the current conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic in South Africa, both teams have only been allowed to return to non-contact training this week. PRO14 Rugby remains in constant dialogue with SA Rugby and the clubs and aims to identify appropriate dates for the two derbies when possible. In the meantime, the Toyota Cheetahs are working hard in preparation to return to play.
