Western Province travel to the face the Leopards on a cold Friday night, with both teams starting the Currie Cup on low notes after a bad loss for the Leopards against the Cheeahs and Western Province drawing their opening fixture with Griquas.
Province’s woes at flyhalf continue as van Aswegen has been ruled out with injury and Varsity Cup winning Demetri Catrakilis taking over the reigns outside a returning Dewaldt Duvenhage.
Province should win this quite easily, with the striped men easily running in four tries with a significantly stronger backline.

@McLovin (Comment 11) : 🙂
“Not so” you need to learn to manage things dude. 9minutes into the game is not the time to start throwing around “I’m not going to ask again” comments when you haven’t asked once yet. 😳
Leopards Shove way before the ball and All “Not So” does is reset the scrum
Starting XV Engelbrect scores a TRY!!!!!!!!!!

“Not So” doesn’t have a clue. 😕
By the sounds of things the stadium ‘dj’ only brought one cd – Grootse boere treffers volume 37.
WP by 25 no that sound like its not going to happen either 😕
“Not so” has a chip on his shoulder the size of the chip a good referee could afford, but certainly not one he could afford. 🙂
@McLovin (Comment 24) :
Pro keeps ‘warning’ the Leopards.
I’m guessing he’s going to card a WP player soon.
WP PK

@McLovin (Comment 28) : 😈
It sounds like they are calling the WP Flyhalf “catch-ya-penis”
WP should just pick Brok at flyhalf since he’s always there anyway. 🙄
@McLovin (Comment 28) : Hehehehehehehe
TMO rules a double movement by Deon Fourie for an attempted try and Leopards clear from their line.
Catch-ya-penis misses a shot at goal.

How the hell can “Not so” call a ball that fell 1m forward not a knock on?
George Tossel is edging his way towards the hands of the match awards 🙂
Commentators: “fatigue is beginning to take it’s toll”
They can’t say that about the Ref!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? 😯
@beet (Comment 37) : “Not So” is feeling sorry for him and letting the knock ons go. 😉
@KSA Shark © (Comment 38) :
Brok ‘the most underrated flyhalf in WP’ scores a try.
@McLovin (Comment 41) : Starting XV! Whoohoo! 😛
HLAF TIME
Leopards 9 – 23 WP
Half Time
not sure what the score is.
Trying to watch two games at once whilst blogging is not as easy as it sounds.
@McLovin (Comment 44) : I had to PVR rewind to check the score. 😆
And no one has Brok in their Starting XV. I wonder why…
@JarsonX (Comment 42) : Dude have you just copied my team? 🙂
@Jarson: next time I’ll refresh before posting! 🙄
Hopefully WP kick-on in the 2nd half.
Got them by 51 on superbrother.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 47) : You copied mine 😉 Burden got a yellow card 🙁
@wpw (Comment 48) :
Leopards penalised for throwing the ball at a WP player.
Actually “not so” is perfectly correct he is NOT as stupid as the guy thinks he is, he is MUCH more stupid. 😕 How the hell can he panalise the guy for that.
Yeah right the guy is good enough to pass the ball, bounce it off the guys chest and then hit him in the nuts.
“Not So” YOU are nuts.
Morne Hanekom with NFL QB like skills
Lobberts about a mile offside. 🙄
WP butcher a try. 👿
@JarsonX (Comment 50) : Burden not in my squad at all 🙂
George Tossel hands of the match.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 57) : Lucky bastard 😈
