WP (20) 33 / Sharks (7) 21 (Final Score)

Vodacom Western Province hosted the Sharks at Newlands, Cape Town at 17:05 SA Time. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 & SuperSport HD & M-Net on TV in SA.

WP were clearly the hungrier team in this game and the Sharks played a strange lacklustre attacking game, with both teams scoring 3 tries each in the process.

With this last game in the regular Currie Cup season, the semi-finalists and where they will play is now determined, with the Sharks taking on the Blue Bulls in Durban and the WP taking on the Cheetahs in Cape Town.

The Final Currie Cup Log Standings list the top 4 as follows:

  1. Sharks 52
  2. WP 48
  3. Cheetahs 47
  4. Bulls 47

WP: 4 Penalties & 2 Conversions Willem de Waal, 1 Try Gio Aplon, 1 Try Duane Vermeulen, 1 Try Jean de Villiers, 1 Conversion Lionel Cronje
