The Toyota Cheetahs moved to within a point of Carling Currie Cup log leaders the Vodacom Bulls as they were made to work hard for victory over DHL Western Province on Friday, while Windhoek Draught Griquas maintained their push for a playoff spot thanks to a last gasp win over the Sigma Lions on Thursday.
The final match scheduled for the weekend, between the Cell C Sharks and the Vodacom Bulls in Durban on Saturday afternoon, was cancelled, with the result declared a draw and both teams receiving two log points apiece.
In Cape Town on Friday, the visiting Toyota Cheetahs clinched an important 28-21 away win thanks to a lively second-half performance, and they are still unbeaten with 31 points on the log from seven matches.
The Vodacom Bulls, who have played one match more, are on 32 points, while the Cell C Sharks remain third on 24 points, with Windhoek Draught Griquas – who beat the Sigma Lions by 23-17 in Johannesburg on Thursday, now only four points behind the coastal side.
The Airlink Pumas had a bye this weekend and remain fifth on 15 points, and they are followed by the DHL WP (nine points), and the Sigma Lions (three points).
The next round of matches is scheduled for 6 and 7 May, when the Sigma Lions host the Toyota Cheetahs in Johannesburg, the Airlink Pumas travel to Durban to take on the Cell C Sharks, and the Vodacom Bulls face Windhoek Draught Griquas in Pretoria.
