DHL Western Province have been training with the DHL Stormers squad this week as they prepare for the next challenge in the Carling Currie Cup next week.

After a three-week break, DHL Western Province are back in action next week when they travel to Bloemfontein to face the Toyota Cheetahs on Wednesday.

It will be their third consecutive away match, following trips to Durban and Kimberley.

The squad have been pushing themselves hard as they look to make a step-up against a very strong Toyota Cheetahs side.

Head Coach Jerome Paarwater said that training in direct opposition to the DHL Stormers has been very beneficial for his team.

“We know that another big challenge awaits us in Bloemfontein, so the players and management have really put in some hard work this week.

“The time off has given us a good chance to look back on our performances this season and identify some areas where we can sharpen up.

“We are all looking forward to getting back into match-mode and hopefully the hard work that has been put in over the last few weeks pays off for us,” he said.
