Despite poor crowds throughout the playoffs, this weekend's Super Rugby final between the Lions and Crusaders in Johannesburg is a sellout.

A crowd of 61,500 will be on hand at Emirates Airline Park for the title decider.

The Lions are aiming to win their maiden title after losing last year's final to the Hurricanes. The Crusaders are in the final for a record 12th time and are seeking an eighth title.
