Lions unchanged for Currie Cup final against WP

Golden Lions head coach Johan Ackermann has retained the starting line up that beat the Sharks last week for their Currie Cup final against Western Province at Newlands.

Ackermann has opted for consistency by retaining the starting line up and all but one player on the replacements bench.

The only change for Saturday’s Currie Cup final is the return of Jacques van Rooyen who comes on to the replacements bench.
