Phaka Predictions – Currie Cup 2019 – Round 1

Phaka Predictions by Kaunda Ntunja - Hollywoodbets

SuperSport’s Phaka show host Kaunda Ntunja gives us his predictions for the 1st round of the 2019 Currie Cup Premier Division! View his picks below, and get your bets on with Hollywoodbets!


Sharks vs Griquas
Friday 12th July, 19:15

Sharks (-16.5)
Griquas (+16.5)

The Sharks have been able to keep the bulk of their Super Rugby squad and have added Springbok veteran JP Pietersen in their personnel. Griquas have won here before in recent years but this Sharks squad which made the Super Rugby quarterfinals will be too strong for them.

Phaka Prediction:
Sharks to win by 18 points.

Golden Lions vs Pumas
Saturday 13th July, 15:00

Lions (-8.5)
Pumas (+8.5)

Looking at the team sheets, I don’t recognize this Lions outfit as most of them weren’t regular Super Rugby starters. If there is to be an upset it could be this one because the Pumas were better than the Lions in the SuperSport Rugby Challenge and these players all mostly played there. I’m always cautious of going for upsets in week 1 so I’ll be conservative and call a close Lions win.

Phaka Prediction:
Lions to win by 3 points.

Western Province vs Blue Bulls
Saturday 13th July, 17:15

Western Province (-6.5)
Bulls (+6.5)

This is a difficult one to call because both teams look decent on paper. Interesting to note that Lood de Jager is in the second row for the Blue Bulls. This is a call from Bok management to see how he will fair after a long injury layoff. Lood will definitely add firepower to the Bulls but I will still go for the home side.

Phaka Prediction:
Western Province to win by 6 points.
