Currie Cup: How the LOG looks ahead of Wednesday’s matches

The Bulls will look to improve their Currie Cup standings when they face the Sharks in a rematch of the last two finals in Pretoria on Wednesday, March 16 as the teams return to action in South Africa’s premier domestic rugby championship.

The game at Loftus Versfeld is set to begin at 20:00, and it will be preceded by two other matches on a full day of midweek football.

The Griquas face the Lions in Kimberley (15:30), followed by the high-flying Cheetahs’ home match against Western Province in Bloemfontein (17:45).

The Pumas get a bye in this round of the Currie Cup, which will be shown live on SuperSport.

Only three points separate the top three sides on the Currie Cup table at the moment – the Cheetahs and Sharks both have 18 points from their four wins, while the team from Pretoria has 15 points.
