Unbeaten WP travel to Kimberley today.
Western province will be trying to keep their unbeaten run in 2010 intact, while Griquas will be trying to see if their reputation of being giant killers will help them this afternoon.
In the last three times these two teams met in Kimberley, Western province won by 5 points in 2007 and lost by 1 point in 2008 and 2009. One could almost say this is a hoodoo team for Western Province, but then one would sound like Gavin Rich, so one won’t say that.

@KSA Shark © (Comment 1) :
Go kwas! Brush weepee aside…
Go WP shit was out in the ITM and out in the Bulls game shit just win by a margin of 6 thats all and nt much to ask is there
😳 😉
I THINK this ref is a Dbn boy. Don’t know him at all.
Will be interesting to watch.
No way WP will go down to these guys. WP is a different monster this season.
13 phases of attack gets WP to 2m from the griquas line only for them to lose it forward in the tackle.
Bladen: Richard Lawson 16 games for province ❓
I’ve never heard of the guy.
FK to griquas 5m from their line for Harris not binding correctly in the scrum on a WP put in.
Viljoen clears well
Gio Aplon executes an awesome tackle that leads me to believe he must be carrying some lead in his body armour. no way such a small guy can drive a player back that well in a flying tackle.
They did say the ref is a product of the sharks academy.
