The second round of the Absa Currie Cup Premier Division kicks off on Friday 2 September 2011, in Nelspruit, with the highlight of the weekend Saturday’s match in Pretoria between the Vodacom Blue Bulls and The Sharks.
It’s been a tough season for the Blue Bulls, but they’ve won their last three games and will be looking to continue that trend against the defending champions.
