This 2026 Currie Cup Round 2 will see Cheetahs welcome Sharks XV to Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein on Friday. Cheetahs have won four of their last five Currie Cup home matches, while Sharks XV have suffered defeat in three of their last four away outings, leading us to go for a Cheetahs victory in our prediction.
Cheetahs fought off Lions' comeback push to secure a narrow two-point victory in their 2026 Currie Cup opener. Van der Walt's late penalty goal proved decisive, overturning a one-point deficit to hand the Cheetahs a hard-fought 29–27 victory.
That result ensured François Steyn's side began their 2026 Currie Cup campaign with a valuable bonus-point victory. They have now won four of their last five Currie Cup home matches dating back to last season.
Lyle Matthews stole the spotlight with a terrific first-half performance to inspire Sharks XV to a hard-fought victory over Airlink Pumas in their opening fixture. The outside back crossed for three first-half tries, paving the way for the team's 26–24 win against Pumas.
However, prior to that victory, the Durban-based outfit had lost each of its last three Currie Cup away games. They have lost four of their last seven Currie Cup visits to Toyota Stadium.
