Western Province coach John Dobson revealed that he and his charges had spent the week in the build-up to the game ragging flyhalf Rob du Preez about coming up against his twin brothers in the final round of the regular Currie Cup season. WP needed to win with a bonus point to claim a home semifinal‚ which they duly did with a 31-20 victory over the Sharks at the weekend. The visitors overturned a 13-3 half-time deficit, with Rob du Preez producing a superb performance with two tries‚ four conversions and a penalty for a 21-point haul. It was an eye-catching display from the flyhalf‚ who has been linked to a move back to Durban at the end of the season, where he will join up with his father (Robert senior, the Sharks coach) and twin brothers Jean-Luc and Daniel. "We gave Rob a hard time in the build-up to this game‚" Dobson said. "The guys were asking him if he was going to ‘sort out his sisters today’ because we thought Jean-Luc and Daniel were both playing.
