WP to Stand Up well in Midfield Duel

An interesting battle awaits us in the midfield for tomorrow's Currie Cup clash between Vodacom Western Province and the Free State Cheetahs.

For WP, captain Gcobani Bobo and Dylan des Fountain line up opposite Meyer Bosman and the very physical Hendrik Meyer. Both Bobo and Bosman have Springbok aspirations this year so they'll be showcasing all their skills. Des Fountain hasn't really sparked the way we all expected him to in his few seasons in the Cape but we're all aware of the promise he has. Meyer is a big, strong centre and likes to bash it up so Des Fountain and Bobo will have their hands full on defence.

It promises to be a mouth-watering battle but whether or not the weather will allow these players to display their ability tomorrow remains to be seen. The weather office is predicting cold, wet and windy conditions with the mercury settling at a chilly 15 degrees.

If that's the case, don't expect the ball to go too far beyond the ! flyhalves. Willem de Waal and Chris Rossouw will be looking to fight for territorial supremacy and at the end of the day it'll depend on who makes the least mistakes.

Kick off is at 15h00.
