Rugby bonus for supporters in Toyota Stadium

Rugby supporters can look forward to a big rugby festival the next two weeks in Bloemfontein!

On Friday, 22 September two big matches will be played in Toyota-stadium. The day kicks-off with the Currie Cup clash between the Toyota Free State Cheetahs and the Pumas at 17:30 followed by the Guinness PRO14 match where the Toyota Cheetahs will be taking on Leinster at 20:00. Zak Steyn will be providing entertainment at the Castle Deck between the two matches and after the Leinster game.

A week later, on Friday, 29 September the Toyota Cheetahs will be playing in another Guinness PRO14 game, this time against Ospreys from Wales.

Biggest rugby promotion ever!
