Re: Currie Cup 2022

Wonder where they pack all the trophies. Won the Currie Cup twice in a Row going for a hattrick. They want it more than the Cheetahs perhaps. Will be a cracker
Pumas Sharks and Griquas still in it aswell

Re: Currie Cup 2022

Cheetahs still unbeaten. WP nr15 should have run with the ball Cheetahs kicked into his 22 in the last minute instead of kicking it out giving possession away

Ferdi Bergh Springbok nr8 from Paul Roos (1931) is just his short name.
His real name is the longest name in international rugby namely Willem Ferdinand Bergh van Rheede van Oudsthoorn
