While all of the Irish, Italian, Scottish and Welsh derbies have been confirmed, no dates have been fixed for the Guinness PRO14 derby games between the Toyota Cheetahs and the Isuzu Southern Kings.
Due to the current conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic in South Africa, both teams have just been allowed to return to non-contact training this week. PRO14 Rugby aims to identify appropriate dates for the two derbies when possible.
