South Africa's Cheetahs will celebrate their best season in Super Rugby by gate-crashing a play-off party of former champions.

The Cheetahs - who have qualified for the first time - are the only one of the six remaining teams who have never won a Super Rugby title. Their quarter-final opponents, the ACT Brumbies, have two; the Canterbury Crusaders, who host the other quarter-final, have seven and their opponents, the Queensland Reds have one.
