8:15am Don't miss the Stormers v Brumbies match at the Canberra stadium at 10:40am, the men from the Cape have made some injury forced changes but it will be interesting to see the likes of Gio Aplon at fullback and when Juan de Jongh plays in his first Super Rugby game this season as he will start from the bench for this match.#ssrugby
8:10am The last game of the will see the high-flying CELL C Sharks traveling to Pretoria to take on the Vodacom Bulls at 7:10pm, we will bring you coverage on that game on TV  through SS1/HD1, the game will be streamed live and we will provide you extensive coverage on the online and mobile side.

8:00am - Here are some stats before the game for you:
The Cheetahs have spent less time in possession (13m 48s) per game than
any other side this season.
 
*Subsequently they have attempted the most tackles per game, sitting top of
the attempts and misses charts.
 
*The Blues have conceded fewer turnovers per game (12.5) than any other
side so far.
 
*The New Zealand outfit’s scrum success rate (59%) is the worst in the Super
Rugby. The Cheetahs’ sits at 86%.
 
*The Blues have won five of their seven matches against the Cheetahs, but
have suffered two defeats in their last three meetings.
