Saturday's fixture between the Airlink Pumas and Toyota Cheetahs is the most anticipated of the round, as both teams are fighting for the last spot in the semi-finals. The winner will join the Lions, Vodacom Bulls, and Hollywoodbets Sharks XV in the knockout stage.
Sunday's action wraps up the round as the Hollywoodbets Sharks XV host the Vodacom Bulls in Durban at 15:00.
While neither the Suzuki Griquas nor DHL WP qualified for the semi-finals, both come into their Friday clash with recent victories under their belts. Griquas, having beaten the Toyota Cheetahs last week, will aim to extend their six-match winning streak over Province. DHL WP, on the other hand, will look to break their losing streak against Griquas, which dates back to 2020.
Meanwhile, the Fidelity ADT Lions, who have secured a home semi-final, are heavy favourites against the NovaVit Griffons. The Lions enter the game full of confidence after a dominant win over the Vodacom Bulls last week.
The defending champions, Toyota Cheetahs, face a must-win match against the Airlink Pumas, with only one point separating them on the log. The Cheetahs have struggled in recent weeks with three straight losses but will hope to rediscover their form to keep their title defense alive.
The four semi-finalists will meet next week, with the final set for September 21.
