Official 2015 Currie Cup Thread

WP team to face the Bulls:

15 Cheslin Kolbe, 14 Dillyn Leyds, 13 Johnny Kotze, 12 Juan de Jongh (captain), 11 Seabelo Senatla, 10 Robert du Preez, 9 Nic Groom, 8 Nizaam Carr, 7 Sikhumbuzo Notshe, 6 Rynhardt Elstadt, 5 Ruan Botha, 4 Jean Kleyn, 3 Wilco Louw, 2 Bongi Mbonambi, 1 Steven Kitshoff.

Replacements: 16 Michael Willemse, 17 Oli Kebble, 18 Chris van Zyl, 19 Jurie van Vuuren, 20 Jano Vermaak, 21 Kurt Coleman, 22 Huw Jones.

Elstadt back in the mix. Hopefully he will bring that harder edge that will be needed to match the Bulls at the breakdown.
 
Cheetahs can't scrum, can't see the cheetahs winning. Cheetahs reaching the semi-final is an achievement. Lions by 15+.

+1. I'll be surprised if they're within 50.

Cheetahs should field a much better team than what the Lions faced in the round robin stage. The Lions should still win this game, but I reckon will be with 10 or less.

15 Clayton Blommetjies, 14 Sergeal Petersen, 13 Francois Venter, 12 Rayno Benjamin, 11 Raymond Rhule, 10 Niel Marais, 9 Shaun Venter, 8 Niell Jordaan, 7 Oupa Mohoje, 6 Boom Prinsloo, 5 Francois Uys (captain), 4 Armandt Koster, 3 Luan de Bruin, 2 Jacques du Toit,1 BG Uys

good side...!
 
Rubbish by the Bulls. Kind of happy that they did not win this, Lions will annihilate any team that play like this in the final.
 
Top stuff! Will take that win. Kitshoff was a monster! Don't think we'll beat the Lions, but a win at Loftus is always hard fought and hard earned. Good luck to both teams tomorrow

*cough* go Cheetahs *cough* :)
 
23-18 victory for WP
Officials messed it up as expected. First try came from a turnover that should've been a penalty to the Bulls, but it ended in a try off a forward pass for Province.
Second try had Kolbe throw in the ball from in front of the line out spot. No TMO involved in either.
Why can't we have games without controversy and us supporters being unhappy with team performance rather than that of the officials.

To be fair, the way they played, WP will get annihilated as well. Both teams in a different league to the Lions - and not in a good way at all.

Expect more of the same as the 62-32 match a few weeks ago. This Lions team is all class.
