This is normally the time that the calculations begin to see who will host the semifinals and who will be playing away. This is how I see the last four rounds going in the Currie Cup for 2009.
Let’s start the analysis with the table topping Sharks team. The first row of points being the log points of the team being analyzed and second row of points for the team they play against.
Sharks (36)
Cheetahs (H) 4 – 1
Leopards (H) 5 – 0
Lions (H) 4 – 1
Griekwas (A) 5 – 0
This will take the sharks to 54 log points.
Western Province (34)
Leopards (H) 5 – 0
Griekwas (H) 5 – 0
Boland (H) 5 – 0
Lions (A) 1 – 4
This will take WP to 50 log points.
Griekwas (34)
Lions (H) 1 – 4
WP (A) 0 – 5
Bulls (A) 0 – 5
Sharks (H) 0 – 5
This will take Griekwas to 35 log points.
Cheetahs (29)
Sharks (A) 1 – 4
Bulls (A) 1 – 4
Leopards (H) 5 – 0
Boland (A) 5 – 0
This will take the Cheetahs to 41 log points.
Bulls (27)
Boland (A) 5 – 0
Cheetahs (H) 4 – 1
Griekwas (H) 5 – 0
Leopards (A) 5 – 0
This will take the Bulls to 46 log points.
Lions (26)
Griekwas (A) 4 – 1
Boland (H) 5 – 0
Sharks (A) 1 – 4
WP (H) 4 – 1
This will take the Lions to 40 log points.
The above scenario will make the log after the playoffs look like this.
Sharks – 54
WP – 50
Bulls – 46
Cheetahs – 41
Lions – 40
Griekwas – 35
If the Cheetahs do not pick up some bonus points against the Sharks and Bulls, the might still end in fifth place. One win or loss against what I predicted might scramble the log drastically, but if I was a betting man this is what my final log would look like.
Jan Jan Jan, die bielie van die bosveld. And so say all of us!
Snoek I hope you right there with the predictions. Then Bulls will play WP in the semi and Sharks play Cheetahs.
If that is correct think it will be a Sharks/Bulls final like I have said all along.
Probably the best rugby to watch so hoping it is.
2 @ Puma – Hi Puma, yes it would be great to host the final again this year. We can definately defend our cup this year.
@Snoek – 3
Nothing better than playing Bulls at the tank. Will be great if they make it to the final which I think they will.
Cheers Snoek have to go out so will cath up later.
Snoek,
I cannot fault you with your logic in how you’ve worked the probabilities out…
I tend to think this will be the way it pans out, BUT should the Cheetahs manage to surprise the Bulls at Loftus, it still would leave the Bulle in 4th spot… so it will be either WP or Sharks for the Bulle in the semi…. hope it’s WP, they’re the weaker of the 2 (when the Bokke are back).
Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarks!

6@Loosehead – Which one of you BASTARDS edited my post?
27@Loosehead – Editing somebody’s Comment, by anybody except me or Ed, as Administrators, is a 7-Day Ban….. I see it in a very serious light..
I never want to fall into the Voldy-Turmoil farkup….. NEVER !
Let this be the last warning….
Sorry Loosehead, how can I rectify the comment for you ?
Vraag vir julle ouens. Wat het julle van Gerber se seun se eerste wedstryd gedink? Die outjie het my baie beindruk met sy spel teen die Kwas.
WP ‘getting a bit thin on the ground ‘.
Newman, Schalla, Fondse, Kritzinger, Bekker, De Waal, Van Zyl all out.
Only Bok they have now is Ricky.
They may lose against the Leopards at Potch…..
