@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-12: @CenturionShark (aka LondonShark)(londonshark)-19: If indeed nobody cared about this meaningless competition you wouldn't need to post comments about how nobody cares about this meaningless competition. Your need to comment proves the perfidiousness of the comments themselves.

@CenturionShark (aka LondonShark)(londonshark)-19: Um, ja...it shows that WP has enough depth whereas the Sharks....ah forget it. can't waste my time on sour grapes.

Um, ja, it may be a senior trophy, but hardly one anyone cares about.

@RugbyStudent(RugbyStudent)-10: If that was his real reason he should have brought him in for the one game only. Although I remember reading somewhere (possibly on KEO) that he did not feel that the juniors had the big abrasive type of loosie that he was looking for. So I think he was wrong as I feel that we have more than enough stocks at the moment as has been alluded to by other comments on this thread.

Spooner…its not about the cup, its about the fact that almost 30 WP regulars were out with either injury or the Stormers, and still there were 22 players, better than the rest of SA’s up and comers… That is impressive…

DHL Western Province: Kurt Coleman, Danie Poolman, JP du Plessis, Marcel Brache, Ederies Arendse, Demetri Catrakilis, Nic Groom (vice-captain); Nick Fenton-Wells (captain), Tyrone Holmes, Rohan Kitshoff, Quinn Roux, Hilton Lobberts, Tom Botha, Sidney Tobias, Schalk Ferreira. Replacements (from): Rob Herring, Deon Carstens, Wilhelm van der Sluys, Reuben Johannes, Rick Schroeder, Mike van der Spuy, Berton Klaasen, Damian de Allende, Gerbrandt Grobler.

here my picks for higher honors soon

watch Sidney Tobias, son of Springbok fly half Errol Tobias, at hooker.. can play senior SR very soon.. very strong and committed in the loose, breaks and makes tackles willingly all throughout his untiring 80 minute contribution

Kurt Coleman, JP Du Plessis, Ederies Arendse, Marcel Brache .. all capable of stepping it up into the bigger division

Groom, Roux and Fenton-Wells too

@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-5:

The Sharks tried very hard to win this competition.
They nearly made the semi’s but were knocked out by the Bullswho scored a try in the last minute.
Poor Sharks were devestated- some were crying- i felt so bad for them.
But that is sport, there can only be one winner.

Province !!!

Only because they were tired of getting drilled again and their season off to a poor start.

@IAAS(I am a stormer)-11: someone hit the *wrong answer* buzzer, the Sharkies don't do Plascon anymore, they realised how meaningless it is.

@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-5: You're right the Plascon Cup is more important. Only because we like to drill the Sharkies in the pre-season friendlies.

Allistair said he needed experience and did not want to disrupt the Vodacom side. He was right.

Yoh! When one doesn’t win anything then the first bit of silverware will go down nicely. Just encourage Province/Stormers to keep going at it. Still many peaks of Mt Cups to reach.

Of course, Bulls fans will rain on our parade with “we’ve-won-three-times”. Good on you, but let us savour this.

Those uncontested scrum bs played into the Province hands at the end.
Why was Brummer replaced?

@thesaint(thesaint)-2: there is a lot of depth in the cape with lots of players also out injured for the stormers and they still doing well. Saw quinn roux for the first time tonite. He is huge! Much more bulkier than bekker and etzebeth. He will make a great enforcer. Stormers lock stocks are looking like the bulls of yesteryear.

They will claim any trophy down in the Cape it seems.

Even the Vodacom one.

First it was the Plascon Cup, then the “Conference Winners”… now the Vodacom Cup.

Congratulations

Seriously, I reckon the Plascon Cup is more of an achievement than the Vodacom Cup.
