Carling Currie Cup action resumes on Wednesday after a break of two weeks with three back-to-back clashes in Kimberley, Pretoria and Durban, as the standings start to take shape.
The action starts
Tafel Lager Griquas host the Airlink Pumas (15h30) in Kimberley, the Toyota Cheetahs travel north to face the Vodacom Bulls (17h45) in Pretoria, and the last match is between the Cell C Sharks and DHL Western Province (20h00) in Durban.
The Sigma Lions have a bye, and all three matches will be broadcast live on SuperSport.
In the opening two rounds of action, the
Vodacom Bulls surged to the top of the Carling Currie Cup standings with a big win in Cape Town, while the Airlink Pumas and Cell C Sharks registered their first log points of the new season. Tafel Lager Griquas will miss their experienced halfback pair of scrumhalf Stefan Ungerer and flyhalf George Whitehead for their home clash against the Airlink Pumas. Their replacements, Theo Boshoff and Raegan
Oranje, are two of four changes made to the side, mainly due to injury. This will be the first home outing for the Kimberley outfit after playing two away games. Meanwhile, the Airlink Pumas have announced just one tweak from the team that dismantled the Sigma Lions in their previous outing two weeks ago. Jade Stighling was handed the No 11 jersey in a rotational switch
with Lundi Msenge. Matches between these two sides are usually close-fought affairs, with the teams playing to a 13-13 draw and a four-point win for the Lowvelders in their 2021 fixtures.
The Vodacom Bulls, who are aiming for a third successive title, will play their first home match of the season following two bonus-point wins on the road when they entertain the Toyota Cheetahs.
Vodacom Bulls Carling Currie Cup head coach, Gert Smal, has selected a team with a balance of youth and experience which will see the centre pairing of Cornal Hendricks and Stedman Gans in the
backline, while Stravino Jacobs makes a return to the starting XV at wing.
Springbok flyer Rosko Specman is back in the Toyota Cheetahs’ starting team, with his inclusion increasing the number of Springboks in the Free Staters' backline to three, alongside skipper
Ruan Pienaar (No 9) and Frans Steyn (No 12).
For their coastal derby, inside centre Marius Louw will lead a relatively experienced Cell C Sharks side brimming with talent, and bolstered by the inclusion of No 8 Sikhumbuzo Notshe who makes a welcome return
to action after an eighth-month injury lay-off. Meanwhile, flyhalf Tim Swiel will captain DHL WP in their first away encounter in Durban. Swiel partners with experienced scrumhalf Godlen Masimla, with Mnombo Zwelendaba starting at outside centre, while there
is an all-new back three with Sergeal Petersen at fullback and Leolin Zas and Andre Manuel on the wings.

Persoonlik het ek gedink die Pumas sou die beter span wees, maar dit wys jou net, die Kwaste hou maar net aan waar hulle opgehou het, maak nie saak wie hulle coach of spelers is nie. Dit is manne wat met hart speel en weet waaroor dit gaan. |

Weereens dink ek dit wys hoekom ons as Leeus ondersteuners so negatief
teenoor die span is vir die wat wonder waar die negatiewiteit vandaan kom. Hel, by Munster wil die ondersteuners al protes, nie omdat hulle verloor nie, maar net omdat hulle nie sjampagne rugby speel en al die spanne uitmekaar skeur nie. Hier wil ons ondersteuners nog stry en wonder onder mekaar waar die negatiewiteit vandaag kom al het ons nog nie in 2022 'n wedtryd in enige kompetisie dusver gewen nie. Ek wens die Leeus ondersteuners was passievol genoeg om te actually protes soos wat die sokker onderteuners doen wanneer hulle klubs so swak bestuur word en omtrent elke wedstrd verloor. Hel man, ek kry skaam om te erken ek is 'n Leeu ondersteuner en by die werk is dit al 'n running joke elke week. Ek weet nie of dit so by julle werke is nie?

Ek stem volkome saam! Dit is goed om die positiewe in elke game raak te sien, maar mens moet ook realisties wees. En ongelukkig is die realiteit dat ons pateties is

Screenshot maar hierdie quote van my. Hierdie groepe (CC en URC) spelers, afrigters en bestuur gaan opstaan. Sooner rather than later. Hierdie swak tydperk gaan nog ñ blessing in disguise wees. ------------- Up the Vaal! |

Ek hoop jy is reg, maar besef jy dat jy nou van n swak "tydperk" van pretty much presies 24 maande al praat? Onthou hoe pateties was ons in die 2020 SR finale "seisoen". Toe tref COVID en ons het so te sê al die wedstryde verloor in SR Unlocked en net in die CC toe goed gedoen. In die friendlies daarna was ons okay, maar weer als so te sê verloor in die Rainbow Cup. Die CC ons swakste CC seisoen ooit gehad. URC nou net 2 van 7 games gewen en 50 reeds teen die Pumas gevat en 48 teen die WP in hierdie CC. As dit ons net 1 of 2 jaar se goeie performances gee voel ek dit was nie die moeite werd nie. Mens kan mos nie sê 2 jaar se swak performances en rekord lows regverdig een of 2 goeie seisoene nie. ------------- Go LIONS!!!!! |

Vir jou prediksie om waar te word gaan hierdie groep by die leeus moet bly. Ons probleem is dat sodra 'n jong speler begin talent wys dan raap 'n ander unie/club hom op. Want ons het mos nie die fondse om te kan kompeteer vir groter salarisse nie
