Boland ready for the Lions

The Boland Kavaliers are finally ready to take the next step and test themselves against one of the country's 'big four' when they take on the Lions in their Currie Cup encounter at the Boland Stadium in Wellington tomorrow afternoon.

The Western Cape side, back in the country's oldest club competition for the first time since 2016, has already made a splash, after stunning the Cheetahs in an epic in their opening match, before battling out an entertaining clash with the Griquas in Kimberley over the past weekend.

The brilliant 37-35 win over the Free Staters, and bonus point picked up for scoring four tries in their 48-39 loss against the Northern Cape side, has given them six points from their opening two games, putting them fifth on the eight team log.
