Record breaking attendance set for Super Rugby Final
- 2431
On Saturday the 2017 Super Rugby Final kicks-off at Ellis Park in Johannesburg between the Lions (South Africa) and the Crusaders (New Zealand).
The match is set to break the all-time attendance match record of 61,823 crowd set at ANZ Stadium, Sydney, at the 2014 Super Rugby Final.
The Lions, runners-up in 2016 to the Hurricanes, are appearing in their second successive Super Rugby final and will be keen to add their name to the Champions list for the first time. The Crusaders are the most successful team in Super Rugby history having won the Super Rugby title seven times.
The two teams had their captain’s run training sessions at Ellis Airlines Park today and both declared themselves fit and raring to go in the final.
