'Battle of Bloem' tonight

19 October 2012

TONIGHT'S crunch Currie Cup rugby promotion/relegation showdown between the EP Kings and the Free State Cheetahs is poised to ignite into the "Battle of Bloem" at the Free State Stadium (kick-off 7.10pm).

Everything suggests the contest will develop into a bruising physical confrontation between two highly motivated outfits. The Free Staters will bombard the Kings with their biggest guns in the opening exchanges as they bid to exert their dominance over the lower division outfit.

Free State coach Naka Drotske says his side will not relinquish their place in the Premier Division without a fight.

I am not a Cheetahss fan at all, and I definately don't think they will come with bully tactics as suggested. Naka and the Cheetahs team have more experience than to do that.They will probably run the ball and circles around the Kings, sorry prediction is Kings down by 20.
