Pretoria - Three-time Vodacom Super Rugby champions, the Bulls, will lock horns with the Cheetahs at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on February 9 at 17:00 in a pre-season fixture.

With both teams using this match as preparation for the start of the 2013 season, scheduled to kick-off for South African franchises on February 22, fireworks are expected in Polokwane.

For the second consecutive year, Polokwane will host the Bulls and the Cheetahs at its popular 45 000-seater 2010 Soccer World Cup venue.

Last year, Pierre Spies and his team thumped the Cheetahs 39-16, thus setting the stage for another thrilling encounter in the heart of Limpopo.

This fixture forms part of a three-year partnership between the Blue Bulls Company (BBC) and the Polokwane Municipality which is aimed at generating funds for tertiary learners in the Province.
