The Cheetahs travel to Witbank to take on the Pumas tonight, a match that they will have to win if they are to have any chance of a home semi final. The Pumas though will do the Sharks and more importantly the Bulls, a huge favour in term of final placings, as a win for the Bulls could level matters for the two teams. [...]

Sharks looked like a pub team

Sharks coach John Plumtree was in a funny mood after the match against Griquas, where the Sharks managed to score five points yes, but did so in a way that does not instil much confidence as the Currie Cup reaches the business end. [...]

The second game of the weekend, with the first one being the untelevised game between the Pumas and the Leopards, take us to Mr Price Kings Park where the Sharks host Griquas in a match that is equally important to both teams, with both teams needing the five points to stay in touch with the leaders.

Sharks coach John Plumtree has made two changes from the team that took a beating against the Cheetahs last weekend, to face Griquas at Kings Park on Friday night. These are promising changes that some have been calling for for a while. [...]
Heavy injury toll for Leopards
The Leopards’ chances of repeating their first-leg victory over the Pumas have received a serious blow, with a veritable horde of first-team players ruled out for extended periods. [...]
CC Game 37 – Leopards (23) vs Lions (43) F/T
The Lions travel to Potch this evening to face the Leopards, with another five points at stake, five points that cement their lead at the top of the log as it stands. They are currently 5 points clear of Province in second, and a win make sure that a Province victory at Loftus will not eat into their lead. [...]
Griquas freshen up for Pumas
Griquas have opted to make a few rotational changes to their side to face the Pumas in the Currie Cup this weekend, with two stalwart forwards, Justin Downey and Hendrik Roodt, given a breather this week after carrying a heavy workload all season. [...]

Looking at the Currie Cup at the moment, a lot of people are calling it a watered down version, and rightly so, all the Springboks are away at the World Cup. But think about it, where were the Boks last year? They were all playing Tri Nations and only came back for the play-off games. So this is the future of the Currie Cup, the current players are the future Springboks in the making. [...]

After watching the weekend’s Currie Cup rugby, with the exception of the Western Province match, I found myself looking forward to the play-offs and trying to position the teams in their finishing order. [...]
Sharks capitulate, but still score 5
The Sharks managed to again disappoint the few supporters that went to Mr. Price Kings Park on Saturday afternoon, proving that any match played at home is a battle even if it is against a team that has not won a match so far this season. The Sharks won, yes, outscoring their opponents 33 – 20, but it took them a while to get going and alarm bells must now be ringing that the Sharks just cannot get themselves to bury a minnow team. [...]
CC Game 34 – Sharks (33) vs Pumas (20) F/T

The Sharks host the Pumas at Mr. Price Kings Park this afternoon, in what should be a reasonably close game, if the Sharks’ previous encounters against the minnow teams are anything to go by. [...]
CC Game 33 – MTN Lions (41) vs GWK Griquas (25) F/T
The Currie Cup action starts tonight as the Lions host a Griquas outfit that has failed to impress so far this season. The Lions will look to continue a pretty good run and stretch the lead at the top of the log before the other teams play tomorrow. [...]
