It’s Currie Cup semifinals weekend!

This weekend marks the semifinal of the Currie Cup, which cannot be missed.

The Lions take on the Cheetahs in the Free State and Western Province take on the Blue Bulls in Pretoria.

The winners of the semifinals will take each other on in the final. The Free State is currently on top of the log making them dangerous competition to take on, especially on home ground. Last year’s Currie Cup winners, the Lions, are however still the favourite to win.
