The Xerox Golden Lions team to play the Toyota Free State Cheetahs in the Currie Cup final, brought to you by DirectAxis, shows one change from last week with Sti Sithole losing out due to a torn calf muscle sustained during training on Thursday.

Dylan Smith moves into the starting XV and Nathan McBeth comes onto the bench.

The Lions have scored 24 tries in this years’ Currie Cup, the second most in the competition, and 21 have been scored against them. The Cheetahs have scored 34 while also conceding 21.

Both the Lions and the Cheetahs have won the coveted trophy three times in the last 20 years. 

The Lions are third on the all-time list with seven Currie Cup titles.

All five big unions have won the Currie Cup on at least one occasion in the last 20 years; the Golden Lions (formerly Transvaal) have won the trophy 3 times in 1999, 2011 and 2015; the Free State Cheetahs have won the trophy 3 times in 2005, 2007 and 2016. In 2006 the trophy was shared by the Free State Cheetahs and Blue Bulls.

Will be a good game, Freestate stadium is small enough to fill up, so hopefully there will be a nice atmosphere for the guys to play in. 

Will be good experience for our young team

The 2019 Currie Cup final is in Bloemfontein!  


The Toyota Free State Cheetahs will be facing the Xerox Golden Lions on Saturday, 7 September 2019 in the Currie Cup final at 17:00 in Toyota Stadium, Bloemfontein.


Gates open at 12:00 and the days kicks off with the SA Rugby u.21 Championship final between the Blue Bulls and Western Province.  


Entertainment before and after the main match at the Castle Deck and hockey field is Arno Jordaan and Francois Bouwer.  


DJ Black & White and DJ LeGoody will be providing entertainment from 15:30 at the Castle area at Gate 8.


This is an exciting day for Free State Rugby and die-hard rugby fans will be witnessing the 15th Currie Cup final for the Free State side, and the 8th in Bloemfontein.  This will also be the third Currie Cup final between the two sides, all in Bloemfontein.  (1 October 1994, Transvaal 56 – Free State 33 and 27 October 2007, Cheetahs 20 – Lions 18).


“We didn’t come all this way just to compete in the final.  It is going to be an 80 minute performance against the Lions,” said captain Tian Meyer.  Meyer urges the fans to come to the match and to enjoy the vibe in Bloemfontein.  


Although tickets sales are good, there are still tickets available online at www.fscheetahs.co.za or from the ticket office in Toyota Stadium (Att Horak Avenue).  Tickets from no other ticket outlet or website will be valid.  Ticket office hours are Monday to Friday, 08:30 – 16:30.


“It is a privilege to play in a Currie Cup final at home.” Said Franco Smith, who announced his team with only two changes from last week.  


Abongile Nonkontwana and Gerhard Olivier switch places, with Oliver starting on number 6 flank.  Charles Marais returns from injury and will be providing cover on the bench.

Het so 1 uur in Bloem aangekom. Bulle se onder 21's was 20-3 agter en wen 33-27. Ons afskop is oor 'n uur. Stadion kapasiteit is 40000 en blykbaar is 36000 kaartjies verkoop, maar hulle verwag dat die res vandag sal uitverkoop voor afskop
