RECAP: Griquas v Lions

READERS’ FORUM: Welcome to our live coverage of the Currie Cup Round Nine encounter between Griquas and the Lions in Kimberley.

ADVERTISEMENT

The last time these two teams clashed was a few weeks ago in round six, when Griquas caused an upset to win by 41-31 in Johannesburg, as they started their push up the standings.

Playing in Kimberley is never easy, and the Lions will remember their last outing to the Northern Cape, which they won after the match was ended early due to inclement weather.
