The Cheetahs were crowned 2023 Currie Cup champions after a hard-fought 25-17 victory over the Pumas in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
The Cheetahs will be looking to avenge their painful semi-final loss to the Pumas in last year's Currie Cup when the two teams meet on Saturday to decide the destination of the trophy.
The Sharks suffered a disappointing exit from the Currie Cup semi-finals, losing 26-20 to the defending champions the Pumas at Kings Park.
The Cheetahs will vie for a seventh Currie Cup crown in next weekend's final after comfortably beating the Bulls 39-10 in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
The Bulls have received a significant boost with the announcement that Elrigh Louw will be free to play in the Currie Cup semifinals after having his red card overturned.
In a season where squad depth was tested more than any other, Western Province brought a number of promising players through and showed great determination, says coach John Dobson.
