Good evening and welcome everyone to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of this years Currie Cup. Todays match between the Natal Sharks and Griquas is the first of the series and will for sure be a great game of rugby. Although the Sharks will enter this game as hot favourites the Griquas with some new faces among the team have all to play for to get their season off to a good start.
