In the final match of Round 6 of the Currie Cup Premier Division The Fidelity ADT Lions will host Windhoek Draught Griquas on Sunday at 16:05 (SA Tie) in Johannesburg.
The hosts are in fifth place on the Premier Division log, while the visitors are in sixth. Both sides will be determined to secure a win that propels them up the standings and strengthens their chances of qualifying for the playoffs.
The hosts will be aiming for a sharper all-round performance after conceding eight tries and 52 points to the Toyota Cheetahs last week. They should be wary of a dangerous Windhoek Draught Griquas side that has already claimed a couple of big scalps this season including the Cell C Sharks and DHL WP.
