The Toyota Cheetahs XV have the enormous task of overcoming a disastrous start to their Currie Cup campaign.
In a tough fixture on Saturday (01/09), the Free State side will face off against the Sharks XV from Durban in a third fixture in the tournament, featuring seven teams in this division.
Free State rugby is yet to record a win and thus remains bottom of the log standings.
This dire situation follows heavy defeats against the Blue Bulls (12 – 34) and Western Province (0 – 32).
