Best two set to serve up a feast

For the second season in a row the Lions will be hosting the Currie Cup final at Ellis Park on Saturday, this time against the Griquas in what should be an entertaining encounter between the two best teams in the competition this year.

The Lions and Griquas finished first and second respectively, and comfortably won their semifinals, with the Highveld side thumping the Boland Cavaliers 67-19, while the Northern Cape team triumphed 25-5 over their neighbours the Cheetahs.

It has thus lined up the two inform teams to battle it out in the finale, although the Lions will be heavy favourites, with them having backed a strong team of URC regulars over their last few games.
