Currie Cup

[OomStruisbaai]

I know the premier teams now struggle in the Currie Cup without a lot of their stars, but WTF Bulls!

There were a lot of URC players in that Bulls team. The Pumas ook like in a different league on saturday. They are above average URC level.

We all know Jake White has a terrible record staying long term at teams. Perhaps his time has come...

Shame man, the guy had health issues, His absence maybe the reson for the struggling. Myself think their and the $hark$ problems is more to do with the contracting of players. Dobson got this right.

Dobson bring u19s in and they just perform. Even the Prince of flyhalfs have been excellent tonight. Godlen however still struggles.

The real test is coming up urc Leinster away cc $hark$ away.

[OomStruisbaai]

Kade Wolhuter has been good again. He is a better kicker then Bosch but he can defend and distribute aswell.

Dobson

One of the most impressive aspects of the win was that, while both teams were missing Springboks, Western Province fielded a blend of experience and youth against close to the most experienced outfit the Vodacom Bulls could field.

“The whole thing is about building depth and creating more opportunities,” said Dobson. “At one stage we had used the most players in the URC, which was our goal.

“As I said, there are 24 guys training in Cape Town for the trip to Leinster. The best thing about it – we might win nothing this season – but in terms of creating a sustainability in this team, it’s a big achievement.

“We did have some Springboks out there – Scarra [Ntubeni] and Juan de Jongh – but also some really exciting youngsters. Kade Wolhuter and Bruce Sherwood, the youngest guy ever to play for Western Province.”

Oops wrong thread

Must be a Sards multi.

Wright scores against oom's true team, the Griquas.

Wright scores against oom's true team, the Griquas.

Sards won't be happy.

[Sards]

Look a lot better this week. Front row depth building nicely.
Backline still a mess . Wright is soooo wrong

[Sards]

Sharks need to maintain a decent winning margin.

Need at least 9 points difference to take 3rd spot

[Sards]

Oh dear. Sharks need to wake up

[Sards]

You would think the sharks would learn not to kick the ball.

It's embarrassing

The Griqua with the scrum cap and the bandage wrapped over the top of, looks like he's wearing a turban.

Die $hark$ se wiele het afgekom.

[TheNatalShark]

Just tuning in now, to this very interesting non knock-on call in the maul.

[_Os_]

Bad call, clear knock.

[Sards]

Bad call, clear knock.

Hilarious. Who is the TMO

[OomStruisbaai]

Game, set en match. Groot Gat is never easy. Whitehead controlling it nicely.

[TheNatalShark]

Wow no interest from the team in looking for someone to pass to.

Why are we still playing old journeymen in this game. They've got nothing to offer the young players in leadership or good experience

[OomStruisbaai]

Bad call, clear knock.

Hilarious. Who is the TMO

Griquas are better than the Purple People Eaters,

Oom is getting windgat.

There he give you a try.

Not at all. $hark$ wait till the end before they play the right gameplan. Kicking cost them.

[OomStruisbaai]

Journey man Cronje cost you another bonuspoint.

[OomStruisbaai]

Next weekend they get WP at home. Should be an easy game for them.

Oom from Noord Kaap stands up arches his back so far his head is facing towards sky and starts crowing.
