Hello everyone and welcome to our coverage of this the Currie Cup final between Western Province and Natal Sharks. Western Province are the holders of this competition and in front of a home Newlands crowd will be hopeful of retaining the competition and having won the 2 previous meetings between these sides this year will be full of confidence. Their winning streak goes back as far the final last year where the Sharks were put to the sword in Durban. A positive for the Sharks is the clearing of Springbok Bismarck Du Plessis from stamping allegations. His powerful play will be crucial to his sides chances. Gio Aplon is the main man on the Western Province side and his pace out wide will be sure to cause the Sharks problems at times. An exciting game is surely in prospect!
