Rugby: Cheetahs, Lions secure narrow victories in Currie Cup encounters

Rugby: In a dramatic day of Currie Cup action, both the Cheetahs and the Lions secured hard-fought victories. In Bloemfontein, the Cheetahs held on for a 31-24 bonus-point win over a spirited Western Province, despite finishing the game with 13 men due to ill-discipline. Meanwhile, the Lions edged out the Pumas 36-35 in Nelspruit, with both teams scoring five tries. This afternoon the Bulls take on the Boland Kavaliers on their home ground. The Cheetahs have moved to the top of the table and the Lions are tied for second with the Griquas.
