Well, that was a bitter pill for the Lions to swallow. WP started off great but by half time the Lions had turned the momentum around and they were definitely the better team in the second half. Just a pity they missed all those kicks and took so many poor options.

I know I sound like a stuck record when it comes to drop kicks but I really wish they'd devalue the points for this boring and unsatisfactory means of scoring points. People go to see rugby to see teams running the ball and scoring tries, not to see glory-boy flyhalves trying to win games with crappy drop kicks. Marnitz Boshoff first attempt was an absolute shocker as he had a full backline travelling at pace on his outside yet he chose to try and reduce a 6 point deficit with a botched drop kick instead. His second attempt also failed when he had many more positive options available. 

I see quite a few of the WP Blowhards are stamping their little feet and demanding that everyone congratulates their team. These are the same Blowhards who all disappeared last year after the Sharks man-shamed their little mincers in last year's final and they all went into a collective sulk. Just go check the posts after last year's final and count how many of these same Blowhards congratulated the Sharks . . . but here are these same foot-stamping little hypocrites getting all red-faced because the opposition supporters (and not just the Lions supporters by the looks of things) aren't patting their little heads and congratulating them for something they had sweet stuff all to do with. LMAO!

Hard luck again to the Lions and well done to WP who got the job done at the end of the day. I have a feeling these Lions are going to be much more competitive in the S15 next year.

A couple of questions. Does this mean that the Lions will be a force to reckon with next year in the SuperXV ?

How much did the absence of the Springbok players influence the outcome in the Currie Cup  ?

Where did all the WP players come from in the last game that were absent the previous round? Were they being rested, were they coming back from injury ? Was it luck that they were available for the final or was that a deliberate strategy ?

Thanks Redneck!!

As you said ... a few poor decisions coupled with some dismal kicking cost us.

Hopefully we've learned something from this.

I'm excited for next year.

 Sounds like a forward's opinion on your point about drop kicks! I do agree with you though, drop kicks should be valued at 2 points. 

Lions looked the better team in the final and I would definitely say that the Lions lost the game rather than WP winning it. 
Take nothing from WP they've been a fantastic team throughout.

Moz, I'll take the loser tag, at least the Lions made the final and could well have won it. My bloody team were very lucky to even make the Semi's.
Next year will be interesting though, Lions have great cohesion and are a pleasure to watch. Hopefully after the relative success of this years Currie Cup, they'll get a bit more money invested and increase their squad depth. Without a massive depth boost, next years Super Rugby campaign is already doomed.

So true, Redneck. I think you have him pegged down to a T. He may sound like one deep in his eighties but he sure behaves like a 6 year old.

This Arsehole sulks at the drop of a hat when things don't go his way. So child like its astounding.

Do you think his mind is going?
 
Have you noticed how he loves to correct my spelling? Seems it's his only counter.

The ravings of ou rooitwit!: I see quite a few of the WP Blowhards are stamping their little feet and demanding that everyone congratulates their team. These are the same Blowhards who all disappeared last year after the Sharks man-shamed their little mincers in last year's final and they all went into a collective sulk.

LMAO!Bwhahahahhahahahaha vintage rooitwit drivel. HE AND HIS FELLOW HALF WITS THEN THROW A TANTRUM BECAUSE MOZ REACTS WITH A BRIEF ONE LINER. 

Some food for thought for ou rooitwit:
WP have won 2 of the last three Currie Cups.WP topped the log this year.WP did not collapse like a bunch of total wimps against the Lions. The Lions put 50 points on the board against the Durban wimps!!!
Rooitwit's main problem is extreme jealousy. He is as green with envy as his jalapenoavatar and as red faced as his board name after all his blowhard activities against WP.  Talk about mountains of EGG landin g on poor rooitwit.
The main  source of this jealousy is the following table:
TeamNumber of winsNotesMost recentWestern Province33Four shared2014Northern Transvaal/Blue Bulls23Four shared2009Transvaal/Gauteng Lions/Golden Lions10One shared2011Natal Sharks72013Orange Free State/Free State Cheetahs4One shared2007Griqualand West/Griquas31970Border/Border Bulldogs2Two shared1934 YOU WILL NOTE THE WEE GUPPIES HAVE WON A MERE 7 TITLES COMPARED TO OUR 33.
Then note the language. I will not dwell on snapsters legendary foul mouth. But wee ccc and rooitwit talk about arseholes and mincers etc. So often below the belt stuff. Lift your game you two disgusting twits!
Next they fail to heed to the lesson of their recent dismal egg landing calamity. I refer of course to the recent board vote where they were comprehensivley defeated. Any similar exercise would result in the same result for these poor little dears. 
So salute the Mighty WP winners of 33 Currie Cups. Perhaps if you had not behaved like spoilt brats the sharks would still have Jake and would not have been so completely humiliated by the Lions. 
Congrats to the Lions on a fine season and hopefully a better Super Rugby season next year. However bear in mind you were playing agianst a very much second string WP outfit. The Stormers for one will be a huge amount better. So dont get carried away is my advice to the Lions. As it was mentioned squad depth is vital.
I trust the above clears up matters.

Pu- ssyWhipped ... you've deliberately neglected to mention that the Currie Cup was begun in the 1890's and that Province had racked up near on 20 wins before Northern Transvaal Rugby was even thought of.

As far as I know they came to be in 1938.

That's a half a century head start.

How's the tally since then?

Don't be an arsehole my henpecked friend.

Try to put things in perspective ... ok??

Look at the professional era.


WP 5 wins

Bulls 5 wins and kissed their sister once

Sharks 4 wins

Cheetahs 2 wins and kissed their sister once

Lions 2 wins.


Sharks 10 finals

WP 8 finals

Bulls 8 finals

Lions 6 finals

Cheetahs 6 finals

 It appears the less fortunate - those not having such an illustrious history would wipe that history away. Unfortunately the history stands and the Johnny come lately outfits like the parasitic bulle and sharks have a lot of ground to make up. The sharks are only 4 ahead of Griquas bwahahahhahahahahaha.WP have more Currie Cup wins that the Lions, Sharks, Free State, Griquas and Border combined. Plus we feed the Bulle and Sharks with players to keep them afloat. Bwahhhahahahaha
No oaks lets face FACTS WP are the premiier SA franchise.
Rooitwit is likely to remain a brighter shade of green for the remainder of his lifetime. The chances of the sharks catching up with WP are in his life time are minuscule.
As for wee cc he remains fixated belo w the belt.

So in the choker stakes we have:

 

WP 5 wins out of 8 finals....62.5% win ratio

 

 Bulls 5 wins out of 8 finals.....62.5% win ratio

 

Sharks 4 wins out of 10 finals......40% win ratio

 

Lions 2 wins out of 6 finals......33.33% win ratio

 

Cheetahs 2 wins out of 6 finals...33.33% win ratio.

 

Seems about right, the Cheetahs and Lions are underdogs. The Sharks are chokers and WP/Bulls are the dominant teams.

Mozart, choking implies you have to lose from a winning position.


In 1999, 2003 and 2011 the Guppies was demolished by their opposition, so they "choked" only three times.

A typical bully. Loud mouthed, strutting his stuff, with his mates in toe ... until someone comes along, calls your bluff and smacks you in the mouth.
