It has been confirmed that the two teams will face each other north of the Limpopo River for the first time, after it had become the norm for the two teams to face off in Polokwane.

The Cheetahs have been busy with their pre-season for the past few weeks, while the Bulls named their Super Rugby squad yesterday.

The squad sees former Cheetahs loose forwards and lock, Freddy Ngoza, in their squad, while the team has also snatched up former Baby Bok, Luther Obi, who walked out on the EP Kings.

Both the Cheetahs and the Bulls will be spending time at Victoria Falls, with the men from Bloemfontein having a team builder and the three-time Super Rugby champions having a training camp.

Cheetahs lock and captain, Francois Uys, told OFM Sport that they are quite excited about the trip up North.

The match is set to take place on 6 February next year in Harare.
