What you need to know:

  • Emmanuel Silungi takes over from Collins Kabayo, who drops to the bench at second row while Bob Muhati takes up the inside centre position replacing Charles Twandam, who moves to outside centre replacing Kennedy Claude.
  • However, Cheetahs coach Lawrence Buyachi has made seven changes, replacing Kevin Kiget and Brian Onyango with Francis Atiti and Desterious Ifedha as props.

Two-time champions Cheetahs and Lions have made tactical changes ahead of their Rugby Super Series final clash today from 4pm at the RFUEA ground, in Nairobi.

Lion’s head coach Oliver Mang’eni, though, has opted for minimal changes, putting his trust in the side that stunned Buffaloes 20-5 in their preliminary round encounter in Kakamega.
