Western Province travel to potch today to take on the Leopards. Why Bother?
The Leopards should just email Western Province the log points for this game and get it over with. They played each other twice in 2009 with the aggregate score being 85 – 10 to Western Province. And that was in 2009, the 2010 Western Province team seems to be cut from a different cloth than the Province teams of recent vintage.
The guys at 365 summed it up very succinctly. “By how much will WP win?”

Seems Supersport have decided to not only NOT show all the matches but also to rest some of their commentators.
Useless and uselesser are commenting on this game.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 67) : Bros and Owen?
Yellow card for Jean Tiedt, harsh call but its the law
Try Hoffman
De Waal makes no mistake with this one and the score is 37 – 13
@robdylan (Comment 68) :
Yip.
So Hoffman is playing at fullback now!!
Plse not another Ruan or Frans!! 👿
@wpw (Comment 73) : I think Jantjes needed to come off for something
@wpw (Comment 73) :
Don’t you need to be a good player to start with to be put in the same class as Ruan and Frans?
24 point margin 😎
Tiaan Liebenberg warming up
That tackle was a bit of an accident but if Kimber gets a yellow then he deserves it for the earlier shoulder charge that useless and uselesser called the kamikaze tackle.
Jantjes goes pale as Deon Fourie gets cleaned(cleanly) doing the same thing that Jantjes did when he had his shin snapped
You guys think that was an accident?
That looked sore 😯
Another maul another try, this time its Peter Myburgh who falls over the chalk
Another try and my Margin point is that little bit closer.
