Boland 29 - Western Province 22

Lions 53 - Griquas 11

Blou Bulle 26 - Vrystaat 16

Sharks 55 - Leopards 17

From what I heard Western Province we're lucky to get that close.
I would have expected Griquas to get closer. They are better than that.
Well done bulls. *clap* *clap* *clap* *bronx cheer*
Sharks are just warming up.

Sharks v Cheetahs should be a great game. Hopefully the Sharks can win against the Cheetahs.

Not too sure about the Sharks game against Griquas.

I'd knew you'd enjoy a win against Wee Pee, Bull. Then again, who doesn't?

 

[Bull]

The Sharks were lucky to win against Griquas.

 

[Steve-o]

It's good to see Craig Davidson coming back after 18 months of recovering from his injuries.

Natal Sharks 18 - 29 Free State Cheetahs @ Kings Park

Oh well.. it had to happen eventually. A blemish on the record for Currie Cup 2005.
Just keep it down to one, sharks.

I see the Blue Bulls are getting into the act of picking on the poor defenceless Leopards.

[Groen_en_Goud]

Western Province 47 - 19 Natal Sharks

I can take most losses... but I get really ****** off when we lose to WP.

 

[Groen_en_Goud]

Matfield is out of the game against Free State after he hurt his hamstring in a training session for the Springboks. Meyer has blasted Jake White saying that it's stupid to have a sprint session after a huge game.

But I believe in Country over Province. These idiot provinical coaches (not just Meyer) don't the best interests of the country at heart. I wish they would just step back and think of the preperation process going on for the 2007 RWC rather than short term gain in the Currie Cup.

 

[Bull]

But why the f*** must they do sprint test? That idiot Jake White is always fond of speaking about stats, like Eddie Andrews can bench 150kg's, but he can't scrum for ****.

Natal Sharks 21 - 45 Western Province

And to top fkn things off the big news is that Rudolf Straueli is at the Sharks. Damn it!!! How bloody thick is Brian Van Zyl (CEO). The players have opposed to any move to bring RS to the Sharks yet the CEO decides it's in the best interests. As far as I'm concerned RS can go jump in shark infested aquariums on the beachfront in Durban. Bloody Hell!!!

The premier division is now finished and this Saturday is the 2 semis between WP & the Lions at Newlands and the Bull & the Cheetahs at Loftus.

 

[Groen_en_Goud]

The Sharks have signed up David Campese to help improve the coaching of the backline. This sort of knowledge is greatly needed at Natal.

Congratulations to all teams that have made the Semi's. But it will be a one horse (or should I say "Bull") race.

I am very dissapointed in the Sharks this year, however, I will always support them through thick and thin.

Ek bly 'n haai

Semi-final results
WP 11-Cheetahs 17

Bull 31-Lions 23, the Bulls were trailing 6-17 at one stage and finished the 1st half trailing 16-17.

The final is this Saturday against the Cheetahs at Loftus.

 

[Groen_en_Goud]

Wee Pee 11 - 17 Cheetahs

Thanks Cheetahs for knocking the Mountain Goats out.

To me it's the next best thing to the Sharks making the Semi's.
