Heehee. Still got it.

Vrydtaat bullies WP laaities.

Why was there a match scheduled for Friday lunchtime? Seems really odd? I didn't get to watch the match.

Love how Oom suddenly remembers he's actually a Griqua fan when they beat the Sharks. He has even invented a new term for it, his "root province".

thanks to you Ox. you refreshed my NWK roots.

[assfly]

That is a MONSTER Currie Cup lineup.

Sharks by 60.

It's a trap.

Griquas have had our number for so many years.

Called it.

I only saw the first half, so can't comment much on the game. But having a bunch of new players thrust into the team (and most called back to the Boks) and expecting a result against a team what literally lives to win the Currie Cup is a tough ask.

Sharks and WP very disapointing for the Currie Cup

I think it's clear that the Sharks are using it as a pre-season training program for URC. We just don't have the depth to compete for URC, Challenge/Champions Cup and Currie Cup in one year.

[OomStruisbaai]

We have a required rest period for 8 weeks.

The Stormers and Sharks use this month for development of young talent outside URC. Obvious they will use the URC (not Springbok) players from August to prepare them for the new season.

Pain will bring gain.

[average joe]

And this is why the Sharks fielded a star-studded team filled with Springboks against the mighty Kwas. Because they have resigned that they don't have the depth to compete and would rather use the Currie Cup as a training ground for the URC.

Masterstroke.

Masterstroke.

You can blame that on Rassie. He forced the provinces to play them in specific positions to prepare for the Bloem test. They havent practise much with the CC squads. Must have been kak for the players who was suppose to play.

Does AJ support the Cheetahs or Purple People Eaters in the CC?

Answer AJ. Declare what Oom calls the root province!

[_Os_]

I'm am going to watch the Griquas v Sharks match sometime today, that's how committed I am.

Sharks are taking the title this season. Challenge Cup and Currie Cup. The double CC Champs, the CCCCCs.

Both, except for when they play each other.

[OomStruisbaai]

WP find a great new Ikey12 midfielder and Sards love child Paul de Villiers and CJ Velleman new poachers.

Bulls away next week the ultimate test.

Glad we are done with the minnows so we can start losing to some of the bigger unions now.

So Sharks pick the exact same side.

Nice to see the young Sharks get a run, but by not taking this competition seriously we are making a mockery of it.

Also, not sure why they named Mavesere in the team when he played for Zim on Wednesday and is playing the final on Sunday.

Obviously sticking with the team believing that they will come good. Another loss will be devastating.

[OomStruisbaai]

Fuller still play schoolboy last year.

[OomStruisbaai]

Cheetahs scrape through. Winning 47-45 vs Griffons

[Sards]

Jorenzo waa my best player of the under 20s. Continuing his form in the Currie cup. It we just had a proper leader in the under 20s.

Sharks leading 20 to 3 half time.

Still enough time to vok it up

He was outstanding at school level. Missed a bit, was watching the midgets. Disappointing

[OomStruisbaai]

Good to see the Sharks young talent performing.

[OomStruisbaai]

Boogie man score again!

[Sards]

You would hope Sharks don't lose it from here

[Sards]

Finally a W for the Sharks 15

<points><laughs at the Zimbo coward>

We are on track to be Challenge Cup Currie Cup champions. The CCCCCs.

[Sards]

Province has another kicker.

Bulls their own enemies

[OomStruisbaai]

I like the look of Fuller.

[OomStruisbaai]

Bulls winning but at least WP gave it their all. Lots of confusion with the subs.
