Gavin Rich previews a potential classic of a Currie Cup final between the Sharks and Western Province on Supersport.

"The ability of an experienced Sharks tight five to turn the tables on the Western Province unit that dominated them three weeks ago will be what decides where the Absa Currie Cup trophy will be spending Christmas.

"That the two finalists in what is expected to be a classic finale to the South African home season at Absa Stadium are well matched has been documented over and over during the past two weeks.

"There really isn’t much separating the teams, who both won 10 matches in the league season, lost to pretty much the same opponents along the way, and who have both played crowd pleasing rugby for much of the competition."
