Ons het laasjaar 2 uit 12 gewen- 17% wen. Die jaar 6 uit 14 gewen- 43% wen. Dis beter maar steeds baie k@k.<div><br></div><div>Die CC kompetisie is baie kompeterend wat wel baie goed is. Die Varsity Cup en CC is krities vir ontwikkeling van spelers.&nbsp;</div>]]>

margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: rgb17, 17, 17; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;">The Lions will be hoping for a miracle when they take on the Griffons in their final pool match of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.citizen.co.za/tag/currie-cup/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">2023 Currie Cup</a>&nbsp;at North West Stadium in Welkom, while the Griquas and Pumas are in a straight shootout for the semis in their clash in Kimberley on Friday (both games kick off at 3pm).</p><p style="-sizing: border-; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: rgb17, 17, 17; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;">It is extremely unlikely that the Lions will make the semi-finals, but if they are to try and sneak in they need to pick up a full house of points with a big win over the Griffons, while also hoping the Pumas beat Griquas without allowing them a point.</p><p style="-sizing: border-;

color: rgb17, 17, 17; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;">But a number of those losses could easily have been wins if they had not let the games slip away.</p><p style="-sizing: border-; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: rgb17, 17, 17; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;"><span style="font-size: 15.4px;">Over the past month the Lions have beaten the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein, lost to the Bulls by a point at Ellis Park (with a last-second drop goal going wide), thumped Western Province in Cape Town and&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.citizen.co.za/sport/rugby/sharks-cheetahs-secure-home-currie-cup-semi-finals/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">fallen to the Sharks</a><span style="font-size: 15.4px;">&nbsp;in Durban despite building up an early lead.</span></p><p style="-sizing: border-;

margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: rgb17, 17, 17; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;">The Griquas and Pumas are essentially battling out a quarterfinal, with the winner of their clash at Griqua Park sealing a semi-final spot.</p><p style="-sizing: border-; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: rgb17, 17, 17; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;">It will have shades of last year’s final, when the Pumas beat the Griquas to pick up their first ever Currie Cup title.</p><p style="-sizing: border-;
