Week 10 of the Currie Cup 2009 saw the Blue Bulls unbelievably lose three in a row and move out of the top 4.
It’s been a tragedy for the Bulls. Another loss sees us slip out of the top 4 and the Cheetahs move in. It looks increasing likely that the Sharks and Western Province will get to host semis, and now I’m picking the Cheetahs and Blue Bulls to play against them.
The Bulls haven’t been getting smashed, but haven’t been playing their best rugby. Usually we end up winning these tight games. At least we have some easier games to come, and can gain our momentum back for the semis. Western Province look settled and dangerous, but my gut feeling is that the Sharks and Bulls will be contesting the final once more in Durban. We have a score to settle!

Hi there
Mate I told you earlier that the Cheetahs will be a force in the currie cup. You already booked the final between the Sharks and the Bulls. Be warned and don’t cry on my shoulder again.

The Currie Cup is not over yet Deon, and I still believe the final will be between the Bulls and Sharks. With the two smartest players in World rugby, Victor Matfield and Fourie du Preez, I’m sure we’ll beat the Sharks.
Cheetahs have to play the Sharks this weekend and also the Bulls. That could knock them out of the semis.
