Griquas scrum coach and former Cheetahs loosehead prop, Wian du Preez, believes the expected wet conditions will place even greater emphasis on the set pieces - an area where the Cheetahs are particularly strong. ]]> Sports Tue, 05 May 2026 08:21:00 +0200 0 0 Wian du Preez - Scrum and set-piece battle against the Cheetahs 0 0 Morgan Piek full 1:43 OFM Sport https://iono.fm/e/1672007 https://iono.fm/e/1672007 The Cheetahs still have their destiny in their own hands, but nothing less than a win over the defending Currie Cup champions will do if they want to secure their place in the knockouts. Currently third on the SA Cup log, they need at least four log points against a side they haven’t beaten in years.
Everything is now on the line, and loose forward Neels Volschenk told OFM Sport that the emphatic win was the ideal response after their disappointing loss to the Valke. ]]> Sports Mon, 04 May 2026 08:08:00 +0200 0 0 Neels Volschenk - Important win against Border, and looming Griquas derby 0 0 Morgan Piek full 0:51 OFM Sport https://iono.fm/e/1671699 https://iono.fm/e/1671699 Heyneke Meyer’s Garden Route outfit still have a mathematical shot at securing a home semi-final, but to keep that dream alive they’ll need to topple the defending Currie Cup champions on their own patch — no easy feat against a side that has built a reputation for being ruthless at home.

While Griquas were always confident of reaching the semi-finals and booking their spot in the world’s oldest domestic rugby competition, forwards coach and former Springbok lock Franco van der Merwe told OFM Sport that there’s definite satisfaction after ticking off their first major objective. ]]> Sports Thu, 30 Apr 2026 10:03:00 +0200 0 0 Franco van der Merwe - Relief and mini Currie Cup 0 0 Morgan Piek full 2:11 OFM Sport https://iono.fm/e/1670875 https://iono.fm/e/1670875 The unbeaten Peacock Blues find themselves in a commanding position: a win over Heyneke Meyer’s charges will all but secure top spot on the round-robin log. That, in turn, puts them firmly on track for a potential home final - provided they do the business in the semi-finals.
Following the bruising win over Jimmy Stonehouse’s men, Griquas coach Pieter Bergh told OFM Sport that the focus has always been on building breathing room ahead of the knockouts. ]]> Sports Wed, 29 Apr 2026 10:38:00 +0200 0 0 Pieter Bergh - Win against the Pumas and SWD challenge that awaits 0 0 Morgan Piek full 2:23 OFM Sport https://iono.fm/e/1670821 https://iono.fm/e/1670821 It’s a game the seven-time Currie Cup champions simply have to win - and ideally with a bonus point. There’s no room for negotiation. The Cheetahs are staring down the barrel of failing to qualify for the 2026 Currie Cup, following last week’s shock defeat to the Valke in Kempton Park - a result that has sparked widespread reaction. The hope, however, is that it serves as the wake-up call the side needs to start delivering on their potential.
Head coach Frans Steyn told OFM Sport that the team has dug itself into a deep hole, and it’s now up to them to fight their way out and safeguard the future of Free State rugby. ]]> Sports Wed, 29 Apr 2026 08:57:00 +0200 0 0 Frans Steyn - “It’s our job as coaches to fix this - and we will fix it.” 0 0 Morgan Piek full 2:19 OFM Sport https://iono.fm/e/1670011 https://iono.fm/e/1670011 The clash between the bitter rivals at Suzuki Stadium lived up to its billing, with the Currie Cup champions showing their class late on to close out the game in front of a superb crowd.
