RECAP: Sharks v Griquas

READERS' FORUM: Welcome to our live coverage of the Currie Cup semifinal showdown between the Sharks and Griquas at Kings Park.

It is almost the perfect Cinderella story. Griquas, after failing to win a match in the 2020/21 season, are just one match away from their first appearance in a Final since 1970.

However, for the losing finalists from the 2020-21 season, the Sharks, it is a chance for redemption when they host Griquas in Durban.
