Currie Cup
Cheetahs vs Lions
Friday 2nd August 2019, 19:15
Handicap
Cheetahs -14.5 (9/10)
Lions +14.5 (9/10)
Both teams are unbeaten but the Lions won both of their matches by the skin of their teeth. The Cheetahs are clearly the team to beat in the competition and the addition of Ruan Pienaar to their side will add a lot of value. I see the Cheetahs winning comfortably.
Phaka Prediction: Cheetahs to win by 15 points.

Pumas vs Sharks
Saturday 3rd August 2019, 15:00
Handicap
Pumas +7.5
Sharks – 7.5
In the past this has been a close encounter in Nelspruit and this one will be no different. The Pumas know that for them this is a straight knockout match. The Sharks on the other hand will be fresh off a bye and will be confident after defeating the much fancied Western Province in week 2. Sharks will edge this one.
Phaka Prediction: Sharks to win by 6 points.

Blue Bulls vs Griquas
Saturday 3rd August 2019, 17:15
Handicap
Blue Bulls -6.5
Griquas +6.5
Griquas were embarrassed last week by the Cheetahs and need an impressive performance here if they are to believe that they are genuine contenders for a playoff spot. The Blue Bulls were written off by many after losing their first two matches. Their win last week versus the Pumas means that they are still alive in the competition and they have restored belief in themselves. Griquas are playing the Bulls at Loftus at the worst time.
Phaka Prediction: Blue Bulls to win by 7 points.
