What you need to know:

  • The Elephants, who edged out Zimbabwe Goshawks 36-5 at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Port Elizabeth, South Africa, are assured of a place in the semi-finals
  • Odera said they are aiming to end their maiden appearance at Currie Cup on a high before shifting their focus to the Africa qualifier for their 2023 Paris Rugby World Cup
  • After beating Leopards, Odera said his players now need to prove that it wasn't a fluke by putting up another good performance

Kenya Simbas hope for a glorious end to their Currie Cup First Division campaign takes an acid test when they confront Eastern Province Elephants Saturday at the RFUEA ground from 4pm.

Both teams have reshuffled their squads that won their previous matches last Saturday, opting to tighten especially their forward lines as they eye a smooth end to the regular Currie Cup season.
