Two South African derbies will be played on Saturday in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
The first match will see the Emirates Lions take on the Toyota Cheetahs at the Emirates Airlines Park at 17:05. Both teams are at the bottom of the South African conference table and a win for the Lions will give them third spot while a win for the Cheetahs will put their season back on track.
The Vodacom Bulls travel to Cape Town to take on the unpredictable Stormers team. The Bulls are one of the form teams at the moment with six wins from nine games.
A win at Newlands could put them on top of the combined conference by the end of Saturday with the leaders Hurricanes only playing on Sunday against the Reds. Kick-off for the game between Stormers and Bulls is scheduled for 19:05.
