The Currie Cup Final takes place this week Saturday and it is Western Province against the Sharks from KwaZulu-Natal.I don’t really feel strongly about either of the teams, although I grew up in KwaZulu-Natal and lived there until I was 16, so I am hoping for, and expecting, a great game of rugby and of course, may the best team win!
If I had to have a bet I would probably, and only very marginally, favour the home team because I do think that gives some advantage and they certainly have to make amends for the injury time loss to the Blue Bulls in the Super 14 a few years ago, but the Western Province team is absolutely packed with talent. The bookies on the Betting World site (www.bettingworld.co.za) have Western Province as marginal favourites at 85/100 and the Sharks at 95/100 - which is hardly any difference. In some ways, the real big surprise is that the Highveld does not host yet another final.We are so used to being spoilt in having so many finals here.

Sadly i have not been following the currie cup this year.... I dont support either team in the final, but if i had to choose, i would prefer WP to take this one, just on principle. Had my fair share of Sharks supporters that are simply "sore losers" not all of them, but enough of them, and it put me off the team totally. So........ GO PROVINCE!!

Born and Bred in Kwa-Zulu Natal myself, I am a full-blooded WP supporter. Statistically WP should win, BUT it's a home final which I believe has a huge impact on a game and especially the players. Would chance a bet on WP but more because I prefer them to take the cup home. Sharks has always been second favourites - probably a coast-to-coast thing - or maybe just a Ryan Kankowski thing - grrrrrr.... Pity we won't have Jaque Fourie joining the team, I think he is absolutely phenomenal and we will probable not see him the rest of this year.
