BUSINESS AS USUAL?: 'BIG FOUR' WILL AGAIN BE OUT TO CLAIM SA'S OLDEST RUGBY TROPHY
The Currie Cup looks like it will revert back to old days for its 2025 edition, with the so-called "top-four" being seriously challenged for the title by the "lower teams" in the coming weeks. The competition kicks off this weekend.
In recent times, due to South African rugby's year-long schedule, the Currie Cup has turned into a bit of a feeder competition for the main four franchises, with the Bulls, Western Province, Sharks and Lions choosing to rest their best players and give youngsters a chance ahead of the United Rugby Championship.
This has seen a slightly unexpected, but entertaining turn when it's come to the finals, like the Pumas beating the Griquas in 2022 and the Cheetahs beating the Pumas in 2023.
