The Lions host the Sharks in the final round before the semi-finals in the Currie Cup Premier Division.
The Lions have won four of seven matches to lie in 5th spot in the standings. They will be desperate to pick up five log points to keep their semi-final hopes alive.
The Sharks have recorded five victories from seven games and currently occupy third position in the table. A bonus point win for the Sharks could see them claim a home semi-final, but a loss could mean they miss out on the play-offs all together.
With Western Province expected to pick up a bonus point win against Boland, this match has essentially become a quarter-final for these sides.

Please lions kick the sharks out!!!
