WP needs to purchase less Natal players.

Hehe. Can only happen when Natal stop buying Free Staters.

Nice return for the punt. Surprised it's not a lot more considering all the variables in it.

Got the Boks @ 5/1

Closer than I thought.

Congrats by the way to you all for the EP kings u/19 win. Now to hold onto the players?

That is a massive challenge. If a major sponsor is not announced within the next week or three then I'm afraid that there will be a massive exodus of players from EP Kings.

The atmosphere was great at the stadium. Lions deserve the trophy. Well done boys !

I think WP will burst the Lions bubble. WP have been there and can handle the pressure better. Lions will just suddenly freeze up as they know they are the favourites to win. The pressure will get the better of them. Going for a 32 - 24 scoreline.

At least I got the score right, LOL! Congrats to the Lions. Well deserved to win the CC this year. I'm actually surprised that the lions only won by 8. WP were piss poor and it should have been 15+. Hopefully we will have a more competitive CC next year and congrats to wp for making the final with a woeful team.

Russell Winter takes up coaching position with WP

It's been known for a while now, was just made officially yesterday.

Good for him, he is an excellent coach and under Eddie will mature as a next SR coach.

44,000+ at Ellis Park. Well done jhb. Great turnout.

I remember a time not long ago when a Currie Cup final was sold out within 2 hours and the stands were packed. There was many open seats at Ellis Park this time. It's disappointing to see what it's been reduced to. And next year it will be even worse - glorified Vodacom Cup.
