Ali Vermaak will start at loosehead prop in the only change to the DHL Western Province team to take on the Toyota Cheetahs at DHL Stadium on Friday.


1′ Off we go at DHL Stadium

4′ So close! Tristan Leyds with the grubber in behind the Cheetahs defence but Angelo Davids just can’t collect to dot down.

18′ The ever reliable Tim Swiel boot gets DHL WP on the board with 18mins played at DHL Stadium.

30′ Two Tim Swiel penalties have the home side within a single point. The visitors down to 14 men after a number of infringements! Go Proooooovince.

36′ DHL WP into the lead!

40′ Second half underway at DHL Stadium

47′ Cheetahs claw themselves back with a maul try. 21-14 to DHL WP.

52′ David Brits scores and the visitors are level – 21 all.

10 minutes to play at DHL Stadium. Nama Xaba stops the attack with a penalty at the breakdown. The Cheetahs though move back into the 22m and the defence is being tested.

71′ Cheetahs score. Pienaar converts. 21-28 at DHL Stadium.

74′ No giving up here. DHL WP win the breakdown penalty and move back into the Cheetahs half.

75′ So close but replacement scrumhalf Bobby Alexander just can’t get away for a match-levelling score.

76′ Angelo Davids races onto the kick through from Sergeal Petersen. But again the last-gasp defence keeps DHL WP out. DHL WP camped inside the 22m now.

78′ No try as the Cheetahs defence holds firm. Turnover forced… just a couple of minutes left. Still 7 points behind.
