Well done Western Province. For the first time in a long time I can say that they deserved the title and 11 years is a long time to wait for any supporter, suddenly I understand how All Black supporters felt after the inaugaral World Cup!
The game flew by to be honest, and it will always be a difficult day in Cape Town being a Shark, but the game did illustrate the rugby our youngsters can play, albeit in a Second Tier competition. The end of Year team has also been announced and I am baffled by the insisting of Morne Steyn, Francios Hougaard and Zane Kirchner. Instead I feel that we could have given the younger generation a start, guys like Elton Jantjies, Pat Lambie, Raymond Rhule and Louis Ludik (the latter not so young).
More on the game during the week. For now, enjoy.
