WP team looking better with the inclusion of De Jongh at 12, Kitshoff and possibly even Lleyds back. I was scared Kurt Coleman coing back into the selection frame might see Rob du Preez move to the bench but I am glad to see Dobson keep faith with the youngster.

We are going to need some luck against this rampant Lions side playing at home. I am hoping Jaco Kriel gets a Springbok call up for more reasons than just because he deserves a Bok berth LOL. Maybe even Kolisi could get an early flight home? We need points here because a secured home SF is crucial and the Bulls will probably get a full 5 log points off of the Kings at Loftus. The Lions have all but tied up the top of the log. Gonna be difficult to beat but anything can happen in a one-off final, even at Ellis Park.

Golden Lions first try looked more like a knock on

Doesn't really matter in the greater scheme of things. Too many unforced errors and one off running from Province.Its a wonder we managed a bonues point but conceding 62 points is gonna leave a scar. Really missing our Bokke and Eddie Jones can't come soon enough. Crdit to the Lions though. 9 from 9 and just the two they didn't get the 4 try bonus.. dominant form.

The Currie Cup format is so weird this year. I know it's world cup year, but still. Totally weird.

It's been like that for the past 2 years actually... (I didn't know that either until the start of this year's tournament and another member mentioned it)
