Western Province are at home to the Golden Lions in the Currie Cup. A win is vital for both sides, as the loser will find it hard to stay in the top four this week.Will Province show that they have truly turned the corner and have the pack to live with the Lions?
Or will the Joburg boys improve on a performance that saw them win everything but the game against the Sharks last week?

I should be supporting WP, but cant help wanting the Lions to salvage some pride…
i want the Lions to win cos that will be better for the sharks
This game should be close to finished.
Who is gonna win?
WP 25 – 17 Lions
That was after 69min
Wp have three tries so far.
Watson (11th min),
Pietersen(40th min),
Vermeulen (65th min)
did vermeulen really convert his own try?
@robdylan (Comment 11) :
HUH?
5 min to go score unchanged
@KSA Shark © (Comment 12) : that’s what sarugby says
@robdylan (Comment 14) :
Hehhehehe. Nope they got that wrong. according to 365, the conversion in the 65th minute was by Pietersen.
Kruger has slotted a PK in the 79th minute to make it
WP 25 – 20 Lions
FULL TIME
WP 25 – 20 Lions.
Wp going to Dbn next week. I hope the game is on TV. 👿
4 from 4, but only 2 margin points 🙁
Good win by WP but the Lions defense was pretty good.
Peter Grant is not playing well at all… I wonder if he is really leaving cos it certainly seems as if his mind is somewhere else.
Oh and I doubt we will beat the Sharks next week
@wpw (Comment 20) : comming from you????
