Western Province host Boland at Newlands this afternoon for what should have been a match of little significance.
Can WP turn around their run of bad luck?
Or will Boland repeat the feat attained in their first clash in the CC last year and walk away the victors?

i wish refs would learn what staying on your feet means.
Standing over a player on the ground in push-up position is not being on your feet.
On your feet means if you take your arms off of whatever they are resting on and you cannot keep from falling over then you are NOT on your feet.
ref warns Bobo that if he gets spoken to like that again he will bin the player.
