ABSA Currie Cup – Season kick off – Saturday 16 July

DHL WP take on GRIQUAS at DHL NEWLANDS in their first league fixture of this year’s Absa Currie Cup on SATURDAY 16 JULY at 15h00. This fixture is followed by home games against the Blue Bulls (Sat 30 July) and the Sharks (Fri 12 August).

Our investment over the years into structures in the WP has seen our Institute, U19’s and U21’s produce some exceptional young talent. 11 of these players racked up a combined 53 DHL Stormers caps in this year’s Super Rugby competition, most before securing a senior DHL WP cap. In sticking with our strategy of developing and growing our talent with the dual aims of doing well in this year’s competition and building our depth and experience crucial for our Super Rugby challenge in 2012, the Currie Cup season represents a massive opportunity for all our younger stars in the making. In addition the DHL WP U19 and U21 teams, both of whom won their tournaments last year, have their first home game at DHL Newlands on Sat 30 July against the Blue Bulls. See you at the games – WP jou lekker ding!
