In a demonstration of the strong rugby partnership between the Cheetahs and Ospreys, the Cheetahs are delighted to announce the arrival of four talented Osprey players in Bloemfontein.
Ospreys kept alive their hopes of an end of season play-off spot with an impressive 36-21 bonus-point win over the Lions in Swansea.
Star winger Edwill van der Merwe is set to notch his 50th cap for the Lions when they face Ospreys in Round 13 of the United Rugby Championship this Saturday.
As part of the Cheetahs' rugby partnership with the Ospreys, three players will join the Welsh club on a short-term loan to reinforce the squad over the coming weeks.
The Ospreys scored three tries in the last eight minutes to stun the Lions 28-38 in Johannesburg in their Challenge Cup clash on Sunday.
The Sharks continued to struggle on their overseas tour as they fell to a 19-5 defeat United Rugby Championship defeat against Ospreys at the Stoop.
