Western Province and the Golden Lions line up as this year's Currie Cup finalists, and deservedly so after showing themselves to be a cut above the rest during the normal season.

Key Players to Watch

Western Province: Cheslin Kolbe

The dazzling up-and-comer in Western Province's ranks continues to hold down a reputation for unpredictable, and Cheslin Kolbe's performance will be of crucial importance to the hosts' chances at winning.

The fullback has five tries to his name in this year's Currie Cup and will be hoping to provide further danger on Saturday, acting as one of his side's several standout danger men in the back line.

Having gone through some injury woes over the past year, the 20-year-old is looking close to his best again, and SuperSport's Brenden Nel was full of praise for the performances Kolbe has shown of late.

Great to see @Cheslin_Kolbe11 look so dangerous again. Hope he stays injury free and has acres of space in future #CurrieCup

Western Province's 31-23 win over the Blue Bulls in last week's semi-final was a touch closer than Allister Coetzee may liked to have seen but a brace of tries from Kolbe eased the nerves tremendously.

Once again, the youngster will look to be the difference between the two teams, and his head-to-head against Jaco van der Walt will also be a key battle to keep an eye on. 

Golden Lions: Jaco Kriel

It was touch and go for a while as to whether Jaco Kriel would be fit to feature in Saturday's final, and the Golden Lions were pleased to find out this season's leading try scorer will be available.

So impressive has the flanker been, in fact, that SuperSport's Dan Retief has backed Kriel to feature as part of Heyneke Meyer's South African squad in this year's autumn internationals:

"

Anxious wait for Lions this week treating Jaco Kriel's hammie - can such a player be left out of HM's Bok touring side - what a try 2day

The Lions crossed over for a league-high 44 tries this season, with Kriel contributing nine. It would take an almighty effort from teammate Ruan Combrinck or Western Province's Juan de Jongh to dethrone him at this stage.

However, Kriel's biggest focus this Saturday will be on the more conventional blindside duties as he hopes to quell Western Province's threat at the breakdown, using his surplus of initiative to spur the visitors on this weekend.
