Sharks huge underdogs this coming weekend. All I want to see from the boys is some passion. It's like they have been on autopilot so far

Let's prepare ourselves for another week of gutter journalism

"Magnificent Bulls will trounce the Sharks"
"Bulls have procured players wisely"
"Jake White is the greatest coach in the history of mankind"
"Bulls are our only hope in URC"

At the end of the day, the 2 best teams are in the final. Good luck to both of them.

Its all true. Bulls will bliksem them.

S24 still believe in Curwin Bosch

Sharks flyhalf Lionel Cronje and fullback Curwin Bosch showed the value of having two decision-makers dovetailing in their Currie Cup semi-final victory over Griquas at Kings Park on Saturday.
The "double pivot" deployment clicked into gear just in time to give Sharks head coach Sean Everitt confidence that the Durbanites can travel to Loftus with more than one ace up their sleeve.

The decision to kick or kick.

It looked accidental to me when it happened, but I'll take the compliment!

They'll struggle to keep it within record range, 26 points.

Just like the last Currie Cup final hey

Those without a dog in the fight, who will you be supporting?

Me, I will be cheering on the saarks. They have so few CC titles, it really won't make a difference, Bulls are the only team with a shot of overhauling WP.

Looks like during the break they worked on his tackling skills. Look. He is a phenomenal fullback if he tackles. I was very impressed with his game on the weekend.

He wasn't terrible at the weekend. Which I hope means he's changed the trajectory of his form.

Will be interesting to see how he gets on in the URC, with new locations and styles of play.

I think he is back in the right position. Look. In his breakout season at fullback he was collecting MOTM awards for fun. Not a bad thing to have him and Fassi there. Great depth for the Sharks

Way too much time and posts spent on Bosch.

Dude....it's fabulous to see a player make a comeback after a loss in form.
Besides he plays for the Sharks because you lot couldn't pay him

It's his second Currie Cup final of the year. Quite an achievement.

An achievement would be forcing his way into the touring Bok squad.

He's not good enough, we all know that. I'm sure most Currie Cup players realise that this is as good as it gets for them.

So playing in his second Currie Final of the year, as well as featuring in one of the two $harks' games against the Lions is an excellent return for a player of his stature.

He could have been awesome, but these days you cannot hide a poor defender. I think he just does not have the heart for it.

As you say, a good return for him

I always know Bosch best position is 15. Ox and Sards never agree.

That's where he played for Grey High.

We don't overhype our players based on school videos. Our team plays kak we boycott games. We aren't afraid to say it like it is. I lost all respect for Bosch when he kicked everything. Now that he has ball in hand he is flourishing. And his kicking for touch , kickoffs and posts is still the best I have seen in year's....across all teams

He is a very talented player, no doubt about it. He's scored some amazing tries when he keeps the ball in hand. But his defence - or lack thereof - has always been his Achilles heel and I for one ran out of patience with him this year.

I think we did well to cover this problem when Rob du Preez was 10, AE was 12 and Bosch was 15. But we don't have the depth to cover him anymore.

Just good to see him getting some confidence back. 2019 he was in sublime form. But that was against the Kiwis, Aussies and Pumas in Superrugby. Since Covid he has been shite. It became painful to watch. Back at 15 he has been a lot more easier to watch. And he's tackling. Interesting technique which they have obviously been working on but it works.

Everett is showing confidence....

" we put ourselves under pressure by conceding too many penalties and then the yellow card in the last ten minutes that didn't help matters.

But we will work hard this week and make improvements where we need to , then go up to Loftus confident that we can turn the Bulls over"

Even our coach doesn't care about the Mockers

"I am just glad we can contest a final for the second time in 7 months "

" Accuracy and killer instinct are certainly two things that the Sharks can work on before the final, for lack of those two things nearly cost them in this game "

I agree with this completely. This team doesn't have the passion of previous sides...its just do clinical or not .

Makes no sense to play him at 10 now with a good enough flyhalf there (Cronje, who is btw looking quite fit and strong again)
His speed is much better utilised at 15
Can move to 10 if he loses that

Cronje is below average. Chris Smith is a better flyhalf.

The quicker Johan Goosen get into the Bok team the better.

"Following the announcement of their coaching staff shake-up for the first URC tournament last week, the Lions on Monday confirmed that they had signed four players from the Pumas for the tournament.

This includes Pumas captain and lock Pieter Jansen van Vuren, centre Matt More and highly rated loosehead prop Morgan Naude to go with playmaker Fouche"
