Tapiwa Mafuru - Third straight Currie Cup final

Loading player...
The Lions have made one change to their starting XV for tomorrow's big Currie Cup final against the Sharks in Johannesburg.
The Lions have named the fleet-footed and versatile flyhalf Sanele Nohamba in the starting XV.
Last week Nohamba made a big impact off the bench in the 43-34 win against the Toyota Cheetahs in the semi-finals.
The fullback, Tapiwa Mafura, who will play in his third consecutive final, for a third different team, said it will be import to embrace the occasion.
Mafura won the Currie Cup with the Pumas in 2022, and the Cheetahs last year.
Tomorrow's final at Ellis Park kicks off at 16:00.
