The Good Morning Breakfast show

What happens when your guest is physically taller than the architecture of your studio? This morning on Good Morning Breakfast, we were joined by towering Cheetahs lock Curtley Ambrose Thomas. Standing at a commanding 203cm, Curtley shares what it’s like navigating a world built for 2-metre door frames and carrying the name of a cricketing icon onto the rugby pitch. We also look ahead to this weekend’s SA Cup fixture as the Toyota Cheetahs travel to East London to take on the Border Bulldogs. With the playoffs in sight, we discuss the team’s "system-based" approach and their goal to pile on the tries this Saturday. OFM a proud Partner, Sponsor and Supporter of the Toyota Cheetahs!

It’s his first season with the Cheetahs and he’s definitely making an impact: 👉 1 try against the Griffons 👉 2 tries against the Eagles So the BIG question… are we getting 3 this weekend against the Falcons in Kempton Park? 👀🏉 #ToyotaCheetahs #RugbySA #MatchDay
