Ready for on the Couch from Durban for Currie Cup Final 2012 -Mr Myers and Mr Makina from 8-9am tune into Heart 104.9fm .
The Sharks will be looking to win the Absa Currie Cup for the third time in five seasons on Saturday when they host DHL Western Province at Mr Price Kings Park in Durban (kick-off 17h00).
WP, meanwhile, will look to end an 11-year title drought, having last won the iconic trophy in 2001 at DHL Newlands – ironically also against The Sharks.
A look at the list of winners this millennium will reveal that The Sharks and WP have contested three finals, with the Cape side winning in 2000 (25-15 in Durban) and 2001 (29-24 in Cape Town).
The Sharks’ solitary win came in 2010 at Mr Price Kings Park when 25 points from Pat Lambie helped the Durbanites to a 30-10 victory over Allister Coetzee’s men.
Saturday’s final will be the seventh The Sharks have been involved in since 2000, with two wins (in 2010 over WP and 2008 over the Vodacom Blue Bulls, both at home). Apart from the losses in 2000 and 2001 to WP, they also lost the 2003 final to the Blue Bulls and 2011 final to the MTN Golden Lions.
Saturday’s final will be WP’s fourth since 2000, with all three previous meetings having been against The Sharks
