The Sharks have secured a Currie Cup home semifinal, but five teams are in with a chance of nabbing three remaining places when the final round takes place this weekend. Western Province‚ the Free State Cheetahs‚ Golden Lions‚ Blue Bulls and Pumas are second to fifth respectively with just six points covering those teams. WP let a golden chance to secure their place slip when they lost on Sunday 29-20 to the Golden Lions at Ellis Park, where they conceded 19 unanswered points in the process. That result moved the Lions to fourth on the standings on 30 points‚ a point behind Free State and the teams clash at Ellis Park this weekend in a match that could eliminate one of them.
