Neels Volschenk - Important win against Border, and looming Griquas derby

Loading player...
It’s do-or-die for the Toyota Cheetahs in the truest sense this week as they gear up for a must-win SA Cup final-round derby against the Suzuki Griquas in Bloemfontein on Friday night.
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.
