CURRIE CUP WEEK 1
There are two Currie Cup matches taking place on Saturday with the Golden Lions against the Pumas at 15.00 pm in Johannesburg and Western Province against the Blue Bulls at 17.15 pm in Cape Town.

Western Province are the current Tournament favourites – click here for outright betting and they are (-5.5) point favourites against the Blue Bulls. This does look a very competitive fixture with the Blue Bulls fielding a strong side and we believe that they have the chance of getting a result but will take the more conservative play and back them on the handicap of (+5.5) meaning that they can lose the match, but not by more than 5 points.
