Blue Bulls clash with Hollywoodbets Sharks XV in Currie Cup matchday two fixture on Saturday. Can the Bulls edge out the Sharks to maintain their winning start to the campaign? Here is our prediction for the match.
After a semi–final finish last season, Blue Bulls are set for another strong Currie Cup campaign this term. The Pretoria club got off to a winning start in their opening match, defeating Western Province 48-23 last weekend. Fly‑half Boeta Chamberlain starred for the 25-time champions, scoring 18 points as the team dominated both halves to secure the maximum points.
This result marked their first win in four Currie Cup matches dating back to last season. However, they have won four of their last six Currie Cup home matches and will aim for their fifth victory as they host Hollywoodbets Sharks XV on Saturday.
Hollywoodbets Sharks XV suffered a heavy 46-5 defeat in their opening match against Golden Lions in Johannesburg over the weekend. A 24-0 first-half shutdown and 22-5 second-half collapse condemned the defending champions to the heaviest defeat of the opening weekend.
This shocking defeat in Johannesburg ended a nine-match unbeaten streak in the competition for the KwaZulu-Natal club dating back to last season. JP Pietersen's side will aim to return to winning ways on Saturday.
