Boland have it all to do against Lions at Wits
The Lions will want a repeat of their last clash against Boland Cavaliers, which they won 67-19.
The Boland Cavaliers face a formidable challenge as they travel to the Lions for a Currie Cup match on Friday afternoon. Both teams have suffered defeats in their previous games, with the Lions losing 31-19 to the Griquas and Boland falling short 19-12 to the Sharks. Both squads currently boast two wins and two losses. However, the Lions hold a narrow one-point lead over Boland in the standings.
The game will take place at Wits Rugby Stadium, which has struggled to attract crowds due to its inner-city location. Boland will be without wing Domenic Smit and centre Chris Smit, who have been battling colds since the Sharks defeat. They will be bolstered by the return of Sibusiso Sangweni from injury and the leadership of Marlyn Williams.
For the Lions, the presence of an unfamiliar squad and coaching staff adds to the challenge, especially as they prepare for their upcoming match against the All Blacks. Despite playing at home for the first time against Boland, the Lions aim to replicate their strong performance against the Wellington side last season, where they dominated with a 67-19 win in the semi-final.
