The introduction of the Conference format was a necessity when we expanded into South Africa, but one of the knock-on benefits was the expansion of the Guinness PRO14 Final Series which means that more teams have more to play for. In Conference A right now, everyone from Munster down to Cardi Blues will feel confident they can join Glasgow Warriors in reaching the knock-out stages.

Reflecting on the first seven rounds of the Guinness PRO14 it is so encouraging to see how the individual goals of our clubs, their coaches and players, our unions and our broadcasters has created such a thriving Championship. It has been a really competitive season so far and whether we’re seeing tighter scorelines, surprise results or games that go right down to the final kick, our teams are providing drama and quality in equal measure.

Leeto would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Toyota Free State Cheetahs for winning the Nashua Currie Cup Final following their 36 - 16 victory over the Blue Bulls over the past weekend. The team dominated all aspects of the final match, and converted almost every opportunity into points to ultimately be crowned the 2016 Currie Cup champions. The Free State Cheetahs have won all 8 of the round robin matches and have earned a 4 try bonus point in 7 of the 8 round robin matches – the only match where they did not score 4 tries or more was against the Western Province in Cape Town. To this, they have added the semi-final victory of 55-17 over the Lions and the final victory Private Bag X20606, Bloemfontein, 9300 Business Partners Building, Cnr Henry and East Burger Streets, Bloemfontein Tel: (051) 410 4735 Fax: (051) 410 4786 Email: [email protected] over the Blue Bulls, making the 2016 season a 10 out of 10 season. Due to the team’s performance, the team as a collective is one of the nominees for team of the year and individual players like Ox Nche and Nico Lee are also nominated as players of the tournament. Free State Cheetahs’ performance also ensured that captain Francois Venter, winger Sergeal Peterson and flanker Oupa Mohoje were named in the Springbok squad to tour Europe in November.
