Welcome to this Currie Cup fixture between Golden Lions and Griquas here at Ellis Park! It's been a rocky road for both teams, but for slightly different reasons. The Lions lost their first match but won their second before having their third and fourth games cancelled. The Griquas have done much the same winning half of their four games but having their fifth game cancelled. Will the Griquas' extra game time lend them a helping hand or will the Lions fight their way to a win? Find out here with live events and running commentary.
