Who comes out on top when the log-leading Lions host the all-star Sharks in the 2024 Currie Cup final?
The Lions will host the Sharks in what is sure to be a cracking Currie Cup final at Ellis Park on Saturday, on the back of two thrilling semi-final clashes.
HAVE YOUR SAY BELOW!
In the first semi-final, the Lions fought back from an early 14-0 deficit to dethrone defending champions the Cheetahs in a 43-34 triumph, reaching their first final in five years.
The Sharks booked their place in the season finale despite a 40-40 stalemate against the Bulls in the semis – the coastal side progressing to the decider on the tries-scored tiebreaker.
The visitors outscored the men from Pretoria by six tries to four, with Springbok prop Trevor Nyakane’s dramatic effort in the second half of extra time the pick of the bunch as it levelled the scores, which was ultimately enough for the KwaZulu-Natalians to progress to the final.
The Sharks are looking for their first Currie Cup title since 2018, when they beat Western Province at Newlands, while the Lions are on the hunt for a first domestic trophy since 2015.
