DHL Western Province U21 will host Lions U21 in their home semifinal at Villager RFC on Saturday.

The play-off match will kick off at 14h00 on Saturday as the two teams square off with a place in the final at stake.

DHL Western Province U21 finished the league phase of the SA Rugby U21 Cup in second place, with just one loss from their five matches this season.

Should they beat the Lions U21, they will face the winner of the semifinal between the Vodacom Bulls U21 and Leopards U21, which is being played in Pretoria on Friday.

When the two teams met earlier in the season at Emirates Airline Park, DHL Western Province U21 came away with a hard-fought 25-17 win away from home.

DHL Western Province U21 Head Coach Nazeem Adams said that his team will have to be as accurate as possible to secure a place in the final.

“We know that we are up against a tough side, so we will have to be switched on for the full 80 minutes.

“The team has worked hard in preparation for this game and we are looking forward to the challenge,” he said.
