Cheetahs thrash Kings in Bloemfontein

Cape Town - The Cheetahs have thrashed the hapless Kings in their PRO14 clash in Bloemfontein on Saturday.

The home side won 45-24 (half-time 24-17), claiming a bonus point in the process, and kept the Kings winless in their maiden tournament.

The win virtually mirrored the Cheetahs' 45-21 win over the Kings in the clash in Port Elizabeth last weekend.
