Week 13 of the 2009 Currie Cup and 3 sides are starting to sweat on the last semi-final spot.

It’s down to the business end of the Currie Cup and 3 sides are vying for the last semi-final spot. They all need to gain valuable log points, whilst hoping their rival sides all slip up somewhere along the line.

Free State Cheetahs v Platinum Leopards

The Cheetahs need a large win to put the pressure on Griquas, and the Lions who are above them on the log. Should be a 5 pointer for the Cheetahs reasonably comfortably.

Blue Bulls v Griquas

It’s time for the Blue Bulls to put together an 80 minute performance. They’ve looked good all season, but not for an entire game. The return of Bryan Habana from his honeymoon may be just the spark they’ve been looking for this season.

For Griquas, it’s important they try to get at least 1 bonus point, which may just get them into the semi-finals.

Western Province v Boland

Boland always seem to lift for these local derbies, but they never seem to win. Nothing will change here, and it may be ight initially, but Province should get home easily enough.

Sharks v Golden Lions

For the Lions to make the cut, they have to produce an upset against the Sharks or Western Province a week later. With injuries, and a Sharks side sure to make up for their disappointing effort last week, it will probably be a bridge to far.
