Written off by everyone except myself, Western Province put in a gutsy performance to deny the Sharks in Durban. The final score was 25 – 18. Key aspects of the game were John Plumtree’s poor substitutions (particularly taking Jannie du Plessis off), Craig Burden’s terrible lineout throwing, Demetri Catrakilis’ drop-goals, and Juan de Jongh’s brilliantly taken try. Luckily Jaco Peyper’s shocking refereeing performance did not influence the result.
