South African professional rugby star Siya Kolisi has dropped his prediction ahead of the Nedbank Cup final between two Soweto-based clubs, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, this weekend.

The two Premier Soccer League giants will battle each other for the title at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, and it will be the first final for Amakhosi under their new manager, Nasreddine Nabi.

The Tunisian manager has lost both games he’s played against Jose Riveiro's side this season, with the last one over the weekend ending in a 2-1 win for the Buccaneers at the FNB Stadium.

The Sea Robbers, on the other hand, will be playing in their third consecutive Nedbank Cup finals after winning the last two editions.

Ahead of the tie, the Sharks posted a video on their Instagram page, which later went viral, asking the players for their prediction on the winner of the Nedbank Cup between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates.

The Springboks captain is known to be a lifelong fan of the Glamour Boys, and he didn’t disappoint Amakhosi fans who watched the video as he tipped his team to edge out the Bucs in the final.

"Alright, let’s settle this once and for all! Who are you backing this weekend ✌️ or 🏴‍☠️?" the Sharks captioned the video.

Kaizer Chiefs have lost their last two games against Pirates, both coming in the Betway Premiership, but they are optimistic about ending that bad run when they meet in the final this weekend.
