On Saturday, 25 February 2023, the Toyota Cheetahs u/20 hosted the Valke u/20 at the Toyota Stadium and as expected cruised to a 50-14 win in Round 2 of the SA Rugby u/20 Cup.
The Toyota Cheetahs initially "struggled" in the first half of the match to get going, in their first match of the season and led 22-14 going into the halftime break.
However, the hosts "clicked" in the second half and scored an unanswered 28 points to beat the Valke u/20s 50-14, outscoring the Valke with eight tries to two.
Scorers:
Toyota Cheetahs u/20: Tries: Sandile Nzuza, Aj Van Vuuren, Tiaan Kriek, Liyabona Maplanga (2), Marcey De Waal (2), Sifi Mpanza. Conversions: Tiaan Kriek (5).
