While I realise that most Sharks fans are quite happy wallowing in the doom and gloom of yet another poor performance against substandard opposition (notwithstanding the 5 log points gained), I feel duty-bound to point out the, shall we say, “interesting” developments that have unfolded on the log this weekend. [...]

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. [...]
Sharks ‘power’ to five point win
The Sharks successfully overcame a strong Griquas effort on Friday night to secure a 29 – 18 bonus point win, making it three from three in their attempt to make life difficult for themselves against the smaller unions. A match that was interrupted by a power outage provided an entertaining match that could have gone either way until late in the second half.

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.

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. [...]

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. [...]
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. [...]

CC Game 30 – Griquas (35) vs Western Province (41) F/T
A repeat of the first round encounter except that we are heading to Kimberley, and both teams will be quite keen to win this encounter after their draw last time around. [...]
WP team for the Griquas
Allister Coetzee has named his team to take on the Griquas at their Kimberley fortress on Saturday, with just a little bit of a shuffle due to injuries and players returning from injury.
