The Six Nations may have dominated many of the rugby headlines this weekend, but while a feast of Guinness PRO14 stars tested their credentials on the international stage the domestic action continued in South Africa. Wales swept aside Italy in the first match of the 2020 Championship, before a battling Ireland side edged past Scotland, but amidst all the drama Toyota Cheetahs and Isuzu Southern Kings were busy contesting their Round 10 clash. With a host of Guinness PRO14 players strutting their stuff on both fronts, we take a quick look at the biggest news stories from the weekend’s action. Cheetahs title charge back on track? Having left it late to squeeze over the line in the first of back-to-back South African derbies last week, Toyota Cheetahs were rampant second time around and cruised to a 45-0 win over Isuzu Southern Kings in Bloemfontein. Both sides began at full pelt and were eager to get their noses in front in the early stages, but while they had to be patient, the hosts earned control of the contest at the break thanks to a Joseph Dweba double either side of Chris Massyn’s score.
