    Rustenburg Impala will face Durbanville-Bellville in the Gold Cup final in Rustenburg on Sunday.

    Impala and Durbell reached the final after convincing semi-final victories over the Rhinos and Swallows respectively, bringing to a climax five weeks of thrilling rugby that drew capacity crowds from all walks of life to community venues across the country.

    The match will be a repeat of the 2015 final, won in fairytale fashion by Durbell, who had qualified for the tournament as lucky losers in qualifying and as the 20th-ranked team in the draw.

    Impala will be seeking their third Gold Cup title after winning in 2014 and 2016, while it will be a chance for Durbell to claim just their second cup.

    The final will be televised live on Sunday at 2:30pm on SuperSport.
