The Cheetahs again had the Leopards’ number when they ran in a convincing 60-17 victory over their North Western neighbours in a wet Bloemfontein on Friday night.
The Leopards started and finished with a bang, but the fireworks were delivered by a slick Cheetahs side who ran the Leopards ragged in difficult conditions.
The Leopards led 10-0 early on after a superb Deon van Rensburg try, set up by a clever grubber from flyhalf Cecil Dumont, and a Jean Tiedt penalty.
And in the final minutes winger Danie Dames sprinted more than half the field, chipped ahead and collected to outpace Jongi Nokwe for seven points.
