CW Final: It's the Bulls v Lions
The climax of the 2012 Craven Week will see the Blue Bulls and the Golden Lions go head-to-head in the tournament decider on Saturday.
Friday is a rest day at Craven Week before the climax of the Saturday, which will see two unbeaten teams play off for top honours.
The matches will be played on the three grounds at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
Obviously it is most prestige to play on the main game, the final, and the matches build up in order of prestige.
The other unbeaten team is Eastern Province, the hosts. They will play in the main curtain-raiser against KwaZulu-Natal, who had a splendid win over the Free State on the first day.
This tournament was blessed with good weather and was played on a wonderful surface, both of which may have contributed to the high scores of the week. In the 20 matches 1,052 points were scored. The highest score in a match was 89, the lowest 23.
