READERS’ FORUM: Welcome to our live coverage of the Currie Cup Round 14 encounter between the Sharks and Western Province at Kings Park.
These two teams have met in the Final on seven occasions. On Saturday their showdown is just about getting into the play-offs, but it remains a massive game.
The Sharks can, with a win, still secure the top spot on the standings – although they require some assistance from the Cheetahs.
However, Western Province is playing for their survival in the competition.
