    Eish the awesomness of the Bulls holds no boundaries

    Ek het op ‘n tyd iets oor die Tvl-Boland finaal gelees. Tvl het die wedstryd met ‘n skepskop deur Natie Rens in die laaste minute gewen. (of so iets) Ek dink die telling was 9-6.

  • 11

    10 – dweeper

    11-9

  • 12

    5: mooi stukkie statistiek daardie, die ander SA spanne raak so bietjie agter.

  • 13

    Liewe genade julle is darem eenogig!..Die CC is nie in 1939 begin nie!…Net die eerste keer dat dit as ‘n finaal gespeel is. Voor dit is dit op liga basis bepaal. Dis nie ons skuld dat NTvl nie voor 1938 begin speel het nie. Julle kan mos nou nie alles voor dit ignoreer nie!

  • 14

    13: Maar, Polla, natuurlik kan ons alles voor 1938 ignoreer, dit is ook nie ons skuld dat ons nie voor 1939 nie daar was nie …

  • 15

    13@ Polla – Wie was in die liga voor 1939, benewens WP….. die Worcester Blindeskool, Bredasdorp Pappegaaie, Weskus Walvisse, Boland, Griekwas… wie nog??

  • 16

    Wel daar is vir die CC gespeel in watter tipe formaat ookal voor 1939 en dus kan alles wat voor 1939 gebeur het nie net ignoreer word vir die Bulle se onthalwe nie. Daar het ander spanne soos Griekwas ook gewen!..Net om die Bulle te laat goed lyk ignoreer hulle die CC wenne voor 1993…ai jaijai!

  • 17

    #15 Onder andere TVL..waarvan julle nog deel was!..Gaan kyk maar.

  • 18

    Wie is nou in die liga behalwe Griekwas en Boland en Luiperds?..Daai redenasie tel nieDaar is nou maks 5 goeie spanne..Daai jare was daar meer as net 5 goeie spanne…julle kan nie die geskiedenis eenvoudig net ignoreer nie. Dis moerse arrogant!

  • 19

    Gaan kyk MOOOOOI wat sê die opskrif van die Artikel…. dit gaan oor FINALS wat gespeel is… niemand betwyfel die feit dat WP voor 1939 die lucky packet gehou en geskud het nie…

  • 20

    Die CC het amptelik eers in 1990 begin.

    Ek het hierdie stuk wat deur Paul Dobson geskryf is op die net gevind, dit is nogal interesant.

    The Currie Cup was from the beginning a sponsor’s trophy. That is surprising considering the aggressive amateurism of the 1890s. And Currie was a man, not, as some people seem to think, a way to spice up food in Durban.

    Donald Currie was born in Glasgow on 17 September 1825, the third son of a Greenock barber. He spent his school days in Belfast at the Belfast Academy and later at the Royal Belfast Academical Institution. He left school at the age of 14 and went to work in a counting house of a sugar firm, called McFie. From there he went to Liverpool to join his brother James in the employ of the Cunard Line. Then he began to move round in the shipping world, going up rapidly till he formed his own steamship company in 1862. It was called Donald Currie and Co.

    In 1872 Donald Currie introduced his steamers to the Cape Town run as the Castle Line. Later, on 8 March 1900, he joined with the Union Line to form the famous Union-Castle Line. He was knighted in 1881, taking Thorough as his motto.

    In 1887 he came to South Africa for the first time. When the first cricket team came to South Africa the following year, Sir Donald gave the (captain), Major Warton, a cup to present to the team which played best against the tourists with the intention that it become a floating trophy for interprovincial competition. That was the first Currie Cup.

    On 19 June 1891 the Dunottar Castle left Southampton with precious cargo – a touring team and the Currie Cup with the same conditions as had applied to the cricket cup. The Currie Cup became the Holy Grail of South African rugby, especially during the years when few tests were played. It was valued at £40. Never in the history of sport have so many played with so much passion over so many years for so little! It is a humble cup, the Currie Cup. The top is gold-plated silver, the base wood. Nowadays it is insured for ZAR100 000, though, of course, it is impossible to put a monetary value on it.

    No team beat the 1891 tourists, but they reckoned that Griqualand West had played best against them, perhaps a diplomatic decision as Kimberley was then in the thrall of men such as Cecil John Rhodes and Barney Barnato, and Rhodes had underwritten their tour.

    Griquas were loath to part with it to fulfil Currie’s conditions that it be used for interprovincial competition but eventually they gave in. Teams since then have also been reluctant to part with the Currie Cup.

    Sir Donald Currie, who made greater wealth from gold and diamonds than from shipping, was a member of Parliament for West Perthshire. He died in Sidmouth, Devon, on 13 April 1909. A special memorial service was held in St Paul’s Cathedral in honour of Sir Donald Currie. King Edward VII and the Prince of Wales sent messages of condolence. His body was taken back to Scotland, where he was buried, not in a posh cathedral, but outside a small church outside the small village of Fortingall in the highlands of Scotland. The simple grave is under a yew tree which is thought to be the oldest living vegetation in Europe, possibly over five thousand years old. Currie had built the village the year before the tour at a spot where the Romans had once camped, thought to be the birthplace of Pontius Pilate.

    Die eerste vier spanne wat daarrvoor gespeel het was WP, TVL, Griekwas en OP. Toe was spanne soos OP en Griekwas baie sterker as vandag. En TVL het dan met julle klomp bulle ook gesit want dit het JHB en PTA ingesluit. Griekwas was die hele Noord-Kaap en OFS en OP was vanaf Durban regdeur tot by Port Elizabeth.

  • 23

    15: Tafelberg Baboons, Robben Eiland Prisoners, Groenpunt Strandlopers, ens … later het hul almal die WP gevorm.

  • 24

    22@ Polla – Kleur dit in nes jy wil, dit bly blou….

  • 25

    Weet een van julla of daar dalk ‘n SuberBru groep is vir rugby-talk.com?

  • 26

    Hi GBS, hu gannit?

  • 27

    Hi bdb, snoek, polla, supa, ashley en dweeper… lol

  • 28

    # 19 Nou vra ek weer..hoekom net na die Finals gaan kyk?…want dan bevoordeel dit die Bulls!…Die CC se geskiedenis kom voor die finals al aan. Die formaat het maar net verander. Julle was deel van TVL gewees an al daai spelers het ook gespeel.
