Last year’s losing semi-finalists have delivered some of the greatest Absa Currie Cup clashes over the past decade – in which they won or shared the prestigious silverware seven times – and Saturday’s showdown has all the makings of another classic battle.
The hosts are seemingly ripe for the picking after they were comprehensively outmuscled by the defending champion Sharks in Durban last weekend. However, a Vodacom Blue Bulls side with their backs against the wall are a different animal altogether and they will be rooted on by their loyal supporters at fortress Loftus.
A major area of concern for the Pretoria side in their 35-16 defeat to the Sharks was their back-pedalling scrum and new coach Pine Pienaar knows they will be thoroughly tested in this facet by the visitors from Bloemfontein come Saturday.
“It was a poor start and we all know that,” conceded Pine Pienaar. “The Free State will require a great effort and we will have no choice but to respond. No one can afford losing at home in this competition.
