The Sharks have lost momentum at a critical time, while the Currie Cup’s other remaining teams all go into this weekend’s semifinals with their confidence buoyed after good wins. Western Province are still beaming after fighting back from 13-3 down against the Sharks to win 31-20‚ which booked them a home semifinal against the Golden Lions. The Blue Bulls sneaked into the last four after beating the Pumas 52-32 on Friday‚ which also gives them an extra day of rest before they face the Sharks in Durban. The Sharks won 10 matches in a row before losing to WP‚ and while it was a dead rubber with a home semi already sewn up‚ coach Robert du Preez was unimpressed with how they let a healthy half-time lead slip.
