2020/21 Carling Currie Cup

I've always though the Bull's supporters were the most pigheaded blowhards in SA but the comments from some WP supporters on here and PR over the years has changed my mind. We don't have many WP supporters up here but the few I've met have always been good humble people. Perhaps the ones up here feel a bit out of place and are to scared to show their true selves or perhaps the frot vis fumes and shit weather affects their brains down there in the Cape.

That is quite an attack on Sards.

Its such a joke. All they have going for them is the scrum. And I would hate to think how much it cost them to keep Ginger. He was offered 60bar remember. Obviously at a cost to the backline which probably plays for peanuts.

Wazza comes for free because the Ruperts pay his salary.

I guess being the biggest and best has it's pitfalls. Soos hulle sê, die hoogste bome vang die meeste wind.

DURBAN - The Sharks’ Currie Cup match against Western Province at Newlands on Saturday is expected to be called off later today after the Durban team this morning was rocked by multiple positive Covid-19 results.

The failure of this final-round match to take place amid the backdrop of rising infections across the country will cast serious doubt on whether the Currie Cup can, in fact, be completed.


ALSO READ: Covid-19 isolation gave Sharks coach Sean Everitt time for introspection

The semi-finals next week will now be in serious doubt — if the Sharks, who will be one of the semi-finalists are struggling to put a team on the field this week, they won’t be in a significantly better position next week given the need for infected players to isolate for 14 days.

If the Currie Cup cannot proceed beyond this weekend it will add depressing fuel to the fire of speculation that July’s British and Irish Lions tour to this country is in mortal danger.


The Sharks’ match against the Stormers in October was also called off because of Covid issues, so this latest development will be a desperate disappointment for both teams.

The Sharks are undergoing a second round of testing later on Wednesday, but it is unlikely that there will be better news. The procedure is for the results to be forwarded to the National Institute for Communicable Diseases, who will make a call on whether the match should proceed, and precedent suggests that there is no chance of this game happening.

The Currie Cup has been plagued by a number of matches falling prey to Covid-19 and, in fact, one of the games that were postponed is taking place at Loftus Versfeld this afternoon when the Bulls host the Lions.


Sadly, this match (4pm kick-off) could be the last hurrah of the 2021 Currie Cup.

@IOLsport

So Handy is claiming that the Sharks players, especially the props, purposely caught Covid to avoid being poesklapped by the WP.

I hope there is an independent investigation at the saarkies union. How could they let this happen multiple times?

I guess we have a new Clown College.

What a vokken disaster. Let's hope the players recover quickly.

That's twice in a season that they are running from the WP.
Yet their supporters are trolling the Boks for not playing the RC.

[Chilli]

Ja. It is really not good.

[handyman]

The players are not high risk people, but the coaching staff and family members could be. One's health is much more important than a game, so here's hoping everyone pulls through.

Yeah. All jokes aside, the players health is more important than watch Ginger shove Kumbari's head up his arse

Shit post, no trolling potential. Ignore.

Terrible news...

Thats the CC done and dusted

I am frankly amazed that there are no cases of Covid amongst WP with all the scrumming they do

It's embarrassing that a Union supposedly being run so much better than WP can have 2 outbreaks in one short season.

There's something rotten. The whole place needs cleaning out. A house built on sand.

So one outbreak is ok?

Surely there must be some kind of punishment for ruining the CC.

Lemoentjie, I have to agree. It's ok when you are only destroying your own union, but now it's starting to affect other teams.

The whole proud history and tradition of the glorious Currie Cup is being undermined by their careless attitude. Shameful.

[Sards]

I am enjoying the irony.
When the Springboks do it, its fine....


Although I would have preferred a result. Tired of giving WP hope and points for doing nothing. Probably find management begged the SHARKS to throw the 3 points or suffer the wrath of the Stellenbosch mafia.

Well done WP...see you next week if you don't chicken out again

Kokkerot supporter.

[‘tsek]

Meanwhile, in unrelated news, an actual rugby match. W

With the way the coastal teams are treating COVID compliance, this might just be the de facto CC final.

[‘tsek]

6-0 to the good guys.

Can see cards coming in this one, lot of niggle from the bulls, seem to target Orie at line-out time.

[‘tsek]

9-0 Lions, Bulls getting schooled at scrum time.

Boom, Headshot!

[‘tsek]

9-6, bulls right in it.

[‘tsek]

Parity. Ref seems a bit lost at interpreting scrums.

[‘tsek]

Bulls resurgent. 12-9.

Lions need to get a finger out.

[‘tsek]

Finger still solidly implanted. Bulls now clearly in charge, 19-9, on the attack with a penalty on the Lions line.

Personally I think that the Covid non compliant Sharks should be booted from the Pro14 and replaced by the Mighty Cheetahs

If the Shark chicken run for the semi, let Vrystaat in please

Can't seem to understand why the Sharks would want to infect or be infected against a nothing team like WP. Makes absolutely no sense. Besides...nice to see them wriggling on our hook whilst we vok with their minds

[Cartman]

Bly maar die beste

[OomStruisbaai]

Bly maar die beste

Die CC is alreeds van Durban na Loftus toe. Geen manier hoe die Bulle geklop gaan word nie.

[assfly]

Having thought about it, I don't see why they can't reschedule this match like they did for the Bulls/Lions game.

If it is because of the timing of the semi finals and finals, then why not just push them back a couple of weeks? It's not like anyone has bought tickets. At least doing so would bring back some credibility to this competition.
