What not to miss in sport this weekend!
Here’s what’s happening in the sporting world on 4 and 5 August.
The Herald has compiled a list of some must-see sporting action to be broadcast on television on Saturday, 4 August and Sunday, 5 August.
SATURDAY, 4 AUGUST:
• Rugby:
It’s the Super Rugby final! The good news is that for a third consecutive year, SA’s Lions will play in the grand finale but the bad news is that they have to do it against the Crusaders away from home. The Lions failed to beat the Hurricanes in the final in NZ two years ago and failed to beat the Crusaders at home last year, but will it be third time lucky for the Lions? Don’t miss it and tune in from 8.30am for the build-up followed by the live match from 9.30am.
• Football:
The 2018/ 19 Absa Premiership season will kick off on Friday, 3 August and will continue on Saturday between Sundowns and Chiefs at 2.55pm followed by Cape Town City and SuperSport United as well as Wits and Free State Stars at 5.55pm and finally Pirates against Highlands at 8.10pm.
Also catch two SA school teams namely Paarl Boys High School and Paarl School going head-to-head at 3.55pm.
