Izak van der Westhuizen - Lions semi-final

Loading player...
The Toyota Cheetahs will focus on this week and not the past as they turn their attention to their big Currie Cup semi-final against the Lions.
The last time these two teams met the Lions beat the Cheetahs 38-21 in Bloemfontein towards the end of last month.
On Saturday the Cheetahs thumped the Pumas 41-14 in Nelspruit to keep their title defence alive, however, it is expected that Lions will field a near full-strength URC team this weekend.
There is a new energy in the Cheetahs captain and the coach, Izak van der Westhuizen, told OFM Sport that they are excited.
