The side from Northern Gauteng kicked off their campaign in exciting fashion against a spirited Western Province XV<\/strong> on Monday, the first day of the tournament, securing a nail-biting 26-24 win, which hands them the chance to make it through to face either Western Province<\/strong> or The<\/strong> Sharks <\/strong>in the prestigious main match on the final day.<\/p>\n

The light blues, however, will first need to get past a Boland side which has upsets on its mind.<\/p>\n

In their first outing, the Bolanders took down Gauteng’s Lions<\/strong>, exhibiting some exciting play on offence and a determined defence.<\/p>\n

Province, also, faces a big challenge when they take on the team from KwaZulu-Natal, who impressed in their opening encounter. The boys in black and white made a major statement by beating last year’s runners-up, the Free State<\/strong>, 26-20.<\/p>\n

Their prowess on attack begs the question: can Province hold out for the entire 60 minutes?<\/p>\n
