RECAP: Bulls v Lions
READERS’ FORUM: Welcome to our live coverage of the Currie Cup Round Seven encounter between the Bulls and Lions at Loftus Versfeld.
The final match of the weekend is a Jukskei Derby at Loftus Versfeld where the Bulls and Lions will be going all out to stay in touch with the top four.
The men from Johannesburg will be hurting when they travel north after losing to Griquas on Wednesday, while the Bulls will take some form into the match after they beat the SA ‘A’ team in Cape Town last weekend.
The last time they met in the Currie Cup was in the 2020 semifinals, where the Bulls beat their neighbours by 26-21 to progress to the final, which they won a week later in Pretoria.
