Frans Steyn - Cheetahs will keep building

Loading player...
The Toyota Cheetahs coach, Frans Steyn, remains upbeat and optimistic about his side despite falling short in the Currie Cup semi-finals.
On Saturday night, the Suzuki Griquas outclassed the Cheetahs with a 25-5 victory in Kimberley to book their place in the final against the Lions in Johannesburg.
It’s been a challenging season for the Cheetahs, with coaching changes, a spate of injuries, a new CEO stepping in, and plenty of young players being given a chance to prove themselves.
Reflecting on the defeat, Steyn told OFM Sport that while it was disappointing not to make the final, he remains proud of what his side achieved.
