The Springboks are on a break meaning rugby fans have four Currie Cup Premier Division fixtures to look forward to this weekend.
Last weekend’s opening round saw the Sharks beat the Pumas in Mbombela (26-24), the Stormers edge Griquas 25-19 in Cape Town, the Cheetahs beat the Lions 29-27 in Bloemfontein and the Boland shock the Bulls 24-10 in Wellington.

The two top-placed teams after round one, the Cheetahs and Sharks, meet in the first game of round two on Friday, with two matches scheduled for Saturday – the Lions against the Pumas and the Griquas against the Bulls.
On Sunday, Boland await their neighbours, the Stormers XXIII, in Wellington and what a game that promises to be. Boland have already knocked over the Bulls this campaign and last season also beat a few of the so-called big guns at home.
Also note, the First Division final takes place on Friday evening in George (7.10pm) when the SWD Eagles host the Valke.
