Harris optimistic about Western Province’s growth despite tough Currie Cup start

WESTERN Province forwards coach Brok Harris is confident that their young and inexperienced team will continue to improve after two heavy defeats to start their Currie Cup campaign.

The Province team is a melting pot of many different players, with some coming in from the club structures, familiar faces from the Springbok Sevens team, and a few of the Stormers’ fringe players. Soon, you can also add some Junior Springboks to that list.

But Province haven't made a great start to the campaign and are already on the back foot in the competition. After defeats against the Bulls and the Lions, and with only one round of fixtures completed, they already look like they might finish outside the semifinal spots.
