Official 2015 Currie Cup Thread

And in other news some CC matches as well this weekend with the BB v Guppies tonight. Should actually be a good game and I reckon there should be a good tussle between Hougie & Reinach.

Then the Champs v Cheetahs, so far most pundits are looking at an upset with a Cheetahs win. Wouldn't be surprised, but I cannot see the Cheetahs rattling the Lions cage at the moment. Lions forwards is and should be too strong for this cat fight.

Then WeePee should take the Pumas with ease and then the last game, which should actually be cracker, is the Queens v Kwaste. Queens been improving each game and the Kwaste hot and cold. Coming of a loss last weekend against the Cheetahs I think the Kwaste will try to restore some pride.

Difficult one to pick, but I think the Kwaste will just sneak it in with ball's hair whisker, but if you want to put money on it I will rather back the Queens +5,5 points.

What, so 30 bloody metres gain is not enough? What a farce. I'd like some of whatever Marius Van der Westhuizen is smoking.
 
What a messy affair between the Bulls and Sharks. And the continues 'use it' from the Currie Cup refs are really becoming tiring. Watching the Currie Cup vs the WC really highlights the inconsistencies in application of certain rules.

When was the last time you saw a player catch a mark outside the 22? This plus many other questionable calls from both the referee and the tmo.
 
Golden Lions v Western Province (Emirates Airline Park 18:00)
Bulls v Eastern Province Kings (Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria 19:10)
Pumas v Free State Cheetahs (Mbombela Stadium 13:15 )
Griquas v Sharks (Griquas Park, Kimberley 15:00)

Lions vs Wp will be a big game.
