The Vodacom Blue Bulls will be pulling out all the stops to defend their Vodacom Cup title when they host the GWK Griquas in Saturday's final at 2pm with the winner set to walk away with a grand prize of R1-million.
The reigning champions booked their place in Saturday's final after defeating the Platinum Leopards 45-34 while the Griquas also progressed through to the grand finale after upsetting the Sharks XV 36-25 in Durban.
After the Bulls' stunning win over the Leopards, coach Nico Serfontein is confident his side will be able to defend their crown at Loftus Versveld on Saturday.

"There's no reason why we can't win this Saturday. There's a lot of experience in the side and we feel great that we actually playing at home at Loftus. The players will take a lot out of confidence from the fact that we are playing in front of our supporters," said Serfontein.
Griquas coach Dawie Theron is also confident of his team's chances at Loftus after the Kimberley side defeated the Sharks XV in Durban on Saturday.
"The players must forget about the last match, clear their heads and refocus for this one especially against the Vodacom Cup holders. The Bulls at home are never easy but the guys are really looking forward to taking on the Bulls at Loftus," said Theron.
The last time these two sides met in a Vodacom Cup final was in 2007 when Griquas edged out the Blue Bulls 33-29 in Kimberley. - Sapa
