The Joburg-based side will now host a home semifinal against the Cheetahs, who finished fourth on the log, at Ellis Park this coming weekend, and should they win that game they will also host the final on 21 September.
The other semifinal will be hosted by the second-placed Bulls, who'll entertain the Sharks, who ended third.
The Lions won nine games throughout the regular season.
They last won the Currie Cup in 2015, when they beat Western Province 32-24 in Joburg. They also lost the final to the Cheetahs in 2019 (31-28 in Bloemfontein).
