WP SWEEP TO HOME SEMI in Currie Cup

Western Province were seldom troubled as they made sure of a home Absa Currie Cup semifinal with an emphatic 33-21 win over the Sharks in the final league match at Newlands on Saturday evening.
There were three tries from each side and in the end it was the boot of WP flyhalf Willem de Waal that separated the two teams with four penalties – but that does not tell the full story, for this was a match that WP dominated to such an extent they could easily have won by 30.

Indeed, in some ways it was similar to the Super 14 match in Durban between these sides in May, where on that occasion it was the Sharks who won by a much smaller margin on the scoreboard than should have been warranted by their dominance on the field of play.

WP took the lead through a Willem de Waal penalty, and it was in the first five minutes that they sent out the message that the WP fans in the 45 000 crowd would have wanted – they showed that this was a game for which they had pitched, unlike that aforementioned Super 14 game at Absa Stadium.
