    I’m suprised Danie Rossouw didnt get
    a best player of the year
    from New Zealand.
    He won them the Cup!

    Transvaal is CC champs…

    They beat the Sardines by the second biggest margin ever in a CC final and the second highest score ever too. They also hold the record for the highest score in a CC final…

    The winning margin of 26 points is higher than the two biggest Absa Currie Cup finals victories of the last decade.

    The only bigger win in an Absa Currie Cup final than yesterday’s, came in 1980 when the Vodacom Blue Bulls, then still called Northern Transvaal, beat Western Province by 39-9.

    Get it right. :mrgreen:
    typical vaalpens,
    always n stertjie.
    In ten years they would have beaten the sharks with a hundred points
    and only fielded five guys.

    Anyway, it looks like the Wobblies are
    going to be the team for the next few
    years.

    No hope for the Boks doing same – too
    stuck in their shit ways with the emphasis
    on tackle-and-kick.

    Great game second half… Wales huge centre’s couldn’t capitalise, battle of the forwards won by Aus…
