This weekend’s penultimate of round of Carling Currie Cup Premier Division action is highlighted by a top-of-the log tussle between the Bulls and Lions on Friday afternoon, while a couple of teams will realise it’s make or break as the semi-finals loom.
As demonstrated last week during the opening quarter of their match in Pretoria, Suzuki Griquas have the potential to play good rugby, however, inconsistency has hampered their campaign. They remain a dangerous outfit thought, especially on the hard surface in Kimberley. Coached by Phiwe Nomlomo, the Vodacom Bulls have both history and form in their favour against their Gauteng neighbours, this season coached by Mzwakhe Nkosi. The log leaders have not lost to the Fidelity ADT Lions in the last five years and their strong player pool means they can easily rotate without sacrificing any of their strengths.Renzo du Plessis of the Lions has been on fire in the last few weeks.
On Sunday, the Airlink Pumas – champions in 2022 and runners up last year – travel to Stellenbosch for a crucial clash with DHL WP, with the knowledge that only a win will keep them in contention for a semi-final spot.
