No difference, they play the Saders in any case.
If Brumbies beat Tah’s and Sharks beat Saders, final is in Durban
Put up a thread earlier this week with all the permutations

Schwartzel currently 4th in the Open on -8.
Louis and George Coetzee both on -4.

Heheheh, Sounds like my normal position for The Currie Cup Bru, I can never get that right….
However, I had Brumbies by 5 today…. 3 points out….
5 spanne oor
van die 5 spanne oor het 3 spanne nog nie die trofee gewen nie, na vanmiddag gaan dit 2 wees
geen span wat 4-6 ge-eindig het op die log kon nog die reeks wen nie
Wen Brumbies en Sharks volgende week, het ons ‘n finaal in Durbs !
2 Aus spanne en 3 AB’s en 1 SA span het al die supertrofee gewen.
@ Scrumdown:
Hello scrummie, said hello earlier but my post vanished, I had problems commenting today…
be sure to come on during the main match later, our Sharkie brothers should be here again then…depending, of course, on the outcome….
216 @ Pietman:
Somehow I doubt that, last week they beat the Stormers, so it gave some of them such unbridled joy that they had to come and tell the Stormer and Bulls supporters off.
Today if they beat the Highlanders, won’t send quite the same message
Well done Brumbies.
8 tries in the match! Who would’ve thought that that would be the case in a play-off.
I doubt we would see the same later this afternoon. Would most probably a borefest.
216 @ Pietman:
Working my ass off this weekend.
2 small abattoir designs to get finished, and a conveyor for hoisting pigs up as well.
PLUS it’s the wife’s birthday tomorrow. k@k, suppose I better run down to the shops and get her something.

@ Ben:#209
“Was regtig verbaas dat Amla so vroeg verklaar het, moes ten minste 450 voor gewees het om seker te maak ons verloor nie.”
SL moet og 260 lopies te kry in 90 boulbeurte met 9 paaltjies oor…op die 5de dag van die toets! Ek dink die verklaring was in die kol.
‘n Verdere 80 lopies sou omtrent die hele sessie geneem het wat ons met baie minder tyd sou laat om hulle uit te boul.
221 @ Nama:
Geen span het nog ooit meer as 300 in die tweede beurt in Galle gekry nie.
Probleem is, ons spinners is nie in dieselfde klas as hulle s’n nie.
8 paaltjies tussen Steyn en Morkel, terwyl al 6 ons tweede beurt paaltjies deur hulle spinners gevat is
@ nortierd:
“Geen span het nog ooit meer as 300 in die tweede beurt in Galle gekry nie.”
En ewe skielik is mense bekommerd omda Amla die ‘Lankans 370 lopies gee om te jaag?
Tahir se rekord op die subkontinent is goed. Duminy self is nie te sleg daar nie.
Al wat nodig is, is 2 paaltjies in die oggendskof. ‘n Uur na middag kry ons die nuwe bal.
260 lopies op die 5de dag? Hoeveel spanne ken jy wat dit gaan jaag vir ‘n wen? My voorspelling is dat ons hulle gaan uitboul net na teetyd en die wedstryd wen.
223 @ Nama:
Hi Nama, certainly hope your prediction is correct, looks like Sri Lanka are well on their way, we will have to get Sangakara and Jayawardene out soon. On the cricket thread at the time of the declaration I posted that I thought it was a bold decision, although at that point I wasn’t sure how much time would be left in the match, for me the fact that SA scored so freely so late in a test on the subcontinent against mainly spin/slow bowlers was an indication that conditions were still good for batting and even though the total looked high that if no play was lost to weather there was possibly enough time for Sri Lanka to get the target. But as we have seen so many times before in cricket it is a funny old game and things can chance very quickly.
@ Nama:
I agree. except that we have to rely on dale and morkel because Tahir is give ing a lot of pies.
As I say that duminy gets sanga sigh a week old chicken mushroom garage pie ha ha
@ MacroBull:
I’ve always maintained that Tahir is a bit overrated even though he does have a good record on the sub continent. Fortunately for us the Lankans don’t like real pace, hence the success of Dale and Morne against them. SA on their way to a good victory here.
@ Nama:
Steyn needs 1 more for his 10 for
Worrying that neither Tahir or Philander could get a second innings wicket so far
third time we have been accused for ball tampering in a year and another lenient charge.
I’m worried about this.
Well done SA.
A pity Steyn could not get ten wickets in the match but that’s OK.
Well done Amla on your 1st win as captain. May you have many, many more.
@ nortierd:
Philander’s record away from home is not great. Hopefully both he an Tahir will have an impact in the 2nd test.

Vernon’s ‘ball tampering’ – the real story
by Neil Manthorp 19 July 2014, 10:30
Proteas seam bowler Vernon Philander was fined 75 per cent of his match fee after the third day’s play in the first test against Sri Lanka in Galle on Friday. The team management decided not to contest the decision so there was no hearing after the day’s play.
The decision not to contest the decision was not, according to the management, an admission of guilt. Instead it was based on the high probability that, should a hearing decide that the player was guilty, the fine would turn into a match ban.
The footage, which was never aired publicly, shows Philander using his right index finger to rub the side of the ball and his thumb once. He is believed to have told teammates that he was cleaning the ball in an effort to preserve the shine.
The umpires and match referee, however, concluded that there was “an intent to change the condition of the ball” and charged the bowler with a breach of Law 42.3. The charge was laid by on-field umpires Billy Bowden and Richard Kettleborough, third umpire Nigel Llong, fourth umpire Ruchira Palliyaguruge as well as match referee Jeff Crowe.
There was no evidence on the ball that it had been altered in any way. If there had been, the umpires would have changed the ball as soon as they became aware of it. The match referee can impose a fine of between 50 per cent and 100 per cent of a player’s match fee for ball tampering and also has the right to immediately impose two suspension points which equates to a test match or two ODIs.
Philander’s 75 per cent fine is lenient given the options available to Crowe and was no doubt influenced by the lack of evidence to support what the umpires believed they saw. It also leaves open the possibility that Philander was, indeed, merely cleaning the ball. Even that simple task, however, is supposed to take place in view of the umpires – an understandable but entirely impractical playing condition.
Ever since the inception of the Decision Review System there have been suggestions of varying seriousness that neutral television directors are as important as neutral umpires.
Given that the footage of Philander was never aired, the decision of the Ten Sports director to make it available to the umpires opens up a whole new debate.
Is the television director also a match official?
