The Currie Cup clash between Western Province and the Sharks at Newlands has been brought forward to kick off at 2:15pm on Saturday.

The start of the seventh-round match has been adjusted in line with the level-3 lockdown regulations. It was originally scheduled to begin at 7pm on Saturday.

This encounter will mark the first of three games that will wrap up the pool stage of the Currie Cup this weekend, and they will all be broadcast live on SuperSport.

In the other match on Saturday, Griquas host the Cheetahs in Kimberley at 4:30pm, while log leaders the Vodacom Bulls and Pumas will bring down the curtain on the round-robin phase on Sunday at 4pm at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit.

The Bulls, Western Province, Sharks and Lions have already secured their places in the playoffs, but there is still a battle to secure a home semi-final.
