The defending Currie Cup champs travel to Cape Town to face WP.
Rugby365
These two teams have been talking each other up all week and so they should. It is going to be a cracker – a game with a host of sideshows that could be worth the entry fee itself.
While Sharks coach John Plumtree was talking about the need to play a “winning game” against quality opposition, Western Province coach Allister Coetzee labelled his rivals a “formidable team”.
The Sharks will field a very impressive combination – even without Springboks like Frans Steyn, Ruan Pienaar and John Smit.
Players like Stefan Terblanche, Odwa Ndungane, Rory Kockott, Keegan Daniel, Jean Deysel, Jacques Botes, Johann Muller (as captain), Steven Sykes, Jannie du Plessis and Deon Carstens will hold the key.
That group includes four Boks who featured in the third Test against the British and Irish Lions, and a couple of Emerging Boks.
The only WP Bok that will be featured in this game is scrumhalf Ricky Januarie, but there are few Emerging Boks in Peter Grant, Willem De Waal and Tiaan Liebenberg – not to forget the experience that veteran All Black lock Chris Jack brings to the game.
Not surprising then that the Sharks mentor, Plumtree, spoke of being conservative in their approach.
“We have to be able to find a way to win, if we have to be defensive and play a 10-man game to get the victory, it’s what we will do on the day,” said Plumtree.
“We definitely want to play a 15 man game but if it’s not going to work for us, we will be fairly direct and disciplined in the game plan we believe we can win with.”
The Province mentor, Coetzee, said there is a good reason why the Sharks are the defending champions.
“We are expecting a very tough game against a formidable side,” Coetzee said.
He added that the Sharks are a very “experienced” side that showed against the British and Irish Lions they still have the qualities that made them Currie Cup champions last year – even though they struggled a bit in the latter stages of the Currie Cup.
But Coetzee feels the biggest asset for his team is in the versatility that the backline has – flyhalf Willem de Waal can play at fullback as well; inside centre Peter Grant is a regular flyhalf, swing Frikkie Welsh regularly plays at centre and fullback Joe Pietersen has previously featured at wing, centre and even flyhalf.
rugby365 Prediction: Without doubt the game of the weekend. Encounters between these two sides are often brutal, especially in the forward exchanges. The number of international stars on display also makes it worth the entry fee. But to pick a winner is not that easy, given that there is no previous Currie Cup form to go on. Based on the qualities of the individuals in the teams and the experience they have, we tend to lean towards a Sharks win – by less than 10 points.
Teams:
Western Province: 15 Joe Pietersen, 14 Frikkie Welsh, 13 Morgan Newman, 12 Peter Grant, 11 Sireli Naqelevuki, 10 Willem De Waal, 9 Ricky Januarie, 8 Luke Watson (captain), 7 Pieter Louw, 6 Pieter Myburgh, 5 Anton Van Zyl, 4 Chris Jack, 3 Brok Harris, 2 Tiaan Liebenberg, 1 Wicus Blaauw.

1st one :
At Bath he recounted how they received a
booklet with all the moves in
which they had to study
then the biggest part of pre-season practice
was them WALKING – a move
everyone walking all the phases
sometimes up to 8 planned phases
then the would get back in position and WALK again
and again and again
until coach was convinced everyone knew exactly what he is suppose to do WHERE !!
Then next move
and so till all was covered
How many move in booklet ?
Apparently more than 100

Now we’ll hear that Morgan Newman is the next Michael Du Plessis, that Frikkie Welsh is far better than either of Jacobs and Fourie, that Puke and Pieter Myburgh are better than Brussouw, that Jack deserves to be a Bok, that Brok Harris is better than Heinke VD Merwe and Tendai together, that Liebenberg is the best hooker to come out of this country since Willie Khatz, that Peter Grant is the next dan Carter, that Swanger Meerkat actually is much better than that Du Preez pretender, that Jo Pietersen is sure to start ahead of anyone who has ebven mild aspirations to play for the Boks.
Until they lose.
I’m glad we won’t be hearing the same about the Sharks for a while….
I was disappointed with the Sharks.
Very much so.
vermeulen is just another Juan Smith. I can like to run for the nearest tackler and tried to dop him om and steamroll furvver…
Locks sucked
As for Pat Cilliers and especially the fantasy that Deon carstens is a Bok quality prop, this was shown up against arguably the worst front row in the CC Premiership.
I am glad that happened because it reflects poorly on our national “coats”
In my mind only two Sharks players actually arrived.
Rory the East Rand thug Kockott
Stefan the ageing 1958 Bentley Tereblanche
The rest of the Sharks players might as well have stayed in Durban for the effect they had on the game.
SWAK with capitals and bold.

Iemand se Welpies het weer verloor, en teen
‘n bra kak Bul-span.
Vermeulen is beseer, het nie gespeel
nie.
Maar ek gaan akkoord met die tweede
helfte van jou post.

I don’t want to make a meal of
it, but Terblanche again proved
he is the best #15 in the land.

nah – you have been rooting for mr steady for so long you can’t see past it anymore. He is good and steady but that is it! IMO PdV has it just right!
Can’t teach an old horse new tricks – am I talking about you or terblanche?? Besluit self

De Vaal was goooood
he’s run this game from 10 in the rain in the Cape twice before…
2005/2006 CC semis anyone?

and emerging boks – allthough only for about 20min
July 11th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
Nah not really
My Welpies impressed me immensely.
Lots of positives for a team starting from scratch with the player losses they had…
If the same happened to WP and Cheetahs they would have gone down by 50…
The Lions won half the game..
Woth a bit of luck and not losing their skipper they could have won the game.

Reply to DavidS @ 8:21 pm:
Ja but then he won… not like in the B&IL game…
In both instances he beat the WP in the rain because WP didn’t have a flyhalf….
Leatsways not one who can kick in the rain.
I wonder why the Lions haven’t opened the wallet and gone to Peter Grant yet…

Wonderboy Kirchner had
a poorish game for the
Emerging Boks, a one-dimensional
game in the bit he saw of the
test and another one this
afternoon.
Class is permanent.

Mate Kockott ‘arrived’ 3 seasons ago!
Agreed on Cilliers… I’ve said it many a time he’s a nobody!
Yep maak Province almal Bokke they beat a team without their 1,2,3,8,10,11,12,13,14,16…
Why Snor didn’t let Kanko, Ndungane, Carstens play at the very least…
One positive… is that finally mug punters will see in Liebenberg what I’ve been touting for years!
Ralepelle my arse!

What game did you watch?
I had Carstens and Ndungane
on my screen.

Willem de Waal
is briljant op
‘n nat Nuweland.
Maak nie saak
vir wie hy speel
nie.
Liebenberg en
Chris Jack was
ook goed, die
paar ander oukies
wat actually van
wp af kom was albei
goed.
