Ellis Park hosts the second of the Currie Cup Semi Finals between The Lions and the Cheetahs. The Lions have swept all before them and are the favorites to win this game and cement a place in the Finals where Western Province are already waiting. The Cheetahs have not been the most consistent through out this campaign but, they are here due to hard work and the willingness to knuckle down and grind out the necessary result. The visitors have made just one change from the the side that scraped a draw against the Sharks last week with , Sias Ebersohn dropping to the bench and Neil Marais getting the nod to start. The Lions have had a very good campaign and look invincible at the moment, and will be very disappointed should they come short this afternoon after having such an amazing campaign. Kick off moments away, and as always stay tuned to Ultimate Rugby for in depth coverage of this fixture.
