CC Game 52 – Leopards vs Sharks
It’s not often that we get to see every Currie Cup game over a weekend, and it’s not often that we see a 19h00 kick off in the Currie Cup, so will the Sharks be able to make it a trifecta of ‘not often’ situations with a dominating performance against the Leopards tonight. [...]
