[QUOTE="TRF_Ezequiel, post: 419864, member: 42683"] I decided to create a vBookie so you guys can make some cash predicting the winner of the competition. The 3rd weekend of July is when it starts this year, the Currie Cup season. Can the Sharks do what the Bulls did in the Super14, to win 3 times in 4 years? Or can the Western Province finally grab hold of that cherished trophy? With the Rugby World Cup coming up, the smaller provinces have a chance to maybe reach the play offs. Can the Griquas cause an upset? Or will their best players be in the Bok squad this year? Considering the performance of Riaan Viljoen and especially Sarel Pretorius, it's not completely out of the question. Last year the Sharks won after a thrilling final in which they beat the Western Province 30-10 including 25 points by Patrick Lambie. What will it be this year?
