In the second of two massive Currie Cup clashes today, and another that will have a huge bearing on where semi finals are played, and maybe even who takes part in the semi finals, when the Blue Bulls, after their draw to the Cheetahs last weekend, host Western Province. [...]

CC Game 40 – Blue Bulls (28) vs Western Province (20) F/T
CC Game 39 – Cheetahs (53) vs Sharks (32) F/T
After three other games already this Saturday, we get treated to two great matches in succession in the Currie Cup, the first being in Bloemfontein where the Cheetahs host the Sharks, a match that could make life very difficult for the losing team to have the honour of a home semi-final. [...]
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. [...]
CC Game 36 – Cheetahs (22) vs Blue Bulls (22) F/T
The final Currie Cup game of the weekend should be a good one, as arch enemies the Cheetahs and the Blue Bulls face off in a game which could end the Bulls’ season. Both teams are hanging around in mid table, and a win will make all the difference for either side. [...]
CC Game 34 – Sharks (33) vs Pumas (20) F/T
10 Sep 11 13:00 by Richard Ferguson | Currie Cup, In the news, Other SA Teams, Sharks | 165 Comments
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. [...]
CC Game 32 – Blue Bulls (27) vs The Sharks (39) F/T
The Bulls host the Sharks at Loftus this afternoon in a clash that, should the Bulls win, will bring them right back into top four contention, along with leveling the playing field with the Sharks and drawing level with them on points. [...]
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. [...]
CC Game 29 – Ford Pumas (20) vs (34) MTN Lions F/T
The Pumas host the Lions in a top plays bottom game to kick off round two of the pool stages of the 2011 Currie Cup. It’s David vs Goliath battle in David’s home town as the Lions travel to Witbank in an attempt to stay out of reach of second and third placed teams on the log. [...]
CC Game 28 – Lions (28) vs (19) Sharks F/T
Finally we get to the game most of us have been waiting for. The battle for top spot on the log (at the time of writing, Friday afternoon, no other games had been played so I have no idea whether Province got 5 points and are currently leading the log?) is upon us and we will have a runaway leader should these two teams not draw this afternoon. [...]
CC Game 27 – Griquas (23) vs Cheetahs (20) F/T
27 Aug 11 14:00 by Richard Ferguson | Cheetahs, Currie Cup, In the news, Other SA Teams | 87 Comments
The curtain raiser to the main game of the weekend should make for an interesting ‘battle of central South Africa’ as Griquas host neighbors, the Free State Cheetahs, in Kimberley to break the points deadlock they currently set on. [...]
3N Game 6 – Australia (25) vs (20) New Zealand F/T
27 Aug 11 10:00 by Richard Ferguson | All Blacks, In the news, Tri Nations, Wallabies | 213 Comments
What better way to start a Saturday than with a Tri Nations deciding match between top opposition. And what a cracker of a game this should be with both teams eager to add another Tri Nations victory to their names. [...]
CC Game 25 – Leopards (20) vs (28) Blue Bulls F/T
One of two Friday night games, the televised one being the game that I think will be more one sided than the Pumas/Province game that is only being streamed. Anyway, on to this match here, where the Bulls take on the Leopards, a game that really should have only one winner. [...]
3N Game 5 – South Africa (18) vs (5) New Zealand F/T
20 Aug 11 15:30 by Richard Ferguson | All Blacks, In the news, Springboks, Tri Nations | 125 Comments
The Springboks have their last opportunity to get some idea of who their strongest starting fifteen is as they face New Zealand in Port Elizabeth, in the final Tri Nations game for the Boks. The All Blacks still have one last game against Australia in Australia next week before they have only two weeks off before they kick off against Tonga in the opening World Cup game. [...]
CC Game 24 – Cheetahs vs Pumas
20 Aug 11 12:52 by Richard Ferguson | Cheetahs, Currie Cup, In the news, Other SA Teams | 53 Comments
The Free State Cheetahs and the Pumas finish of the Currie Cup action this afternoon as a curtain raiser for the Tri Nations clash in Port Elizabeth. It won’t be as much a spectacle as the Province vs Lions game last night, but we should, if everything goes according to plan, see a few tries being scored. [...]
