The President's Council of the South African Rugby Union (SARU) on Wednesday retained the same format employed for this year's Currie Cup competition, entrenching it for the next five years (2007 to 2011). But it has a twist, an annual promotion-relegation battle.

Saturday October 14 2006The Cheetahs and the Blue Bulls will share the ABSA Currie Cup after playing to a pulsating 28-all draw after extra time in the Final at a packed Vodacom Park in Bloemfontein on Saturday. As disappointing as it may seem that there is no winner, ultimately it is a fair result in a game in which the teams were level 25-all after regular time.
Thursday October 12 2006Currie Cup Final fever has hit Bloemfontein, where the Cheetahs will host the Blue Bulls in the showpiece of the country's premier domestic competition on Saturday. It will be the first Final in Bloemfontein in 12 years and the excitement is tangible in the Free State capital.
Wednesday October 11 2006The Blue Bulls' Springbok lock Danie Rossouw has issued an ominous warning to the Cheetahs, whom they'll meet in the Currie Cup Final in Bloemfontein on Saturday. Rossouw, who was moved from flank to lock for the Final, said the best of the Bulls is yet to come.
Wednesday October 11 2006Cheetahs veteran Barend Pieterse readily admits that he relish the opportunity of playing in a physically demanding game, against a team such as the Blue Bulls, and then compare battle scars with his teammates afterwards. But when they face the Bulls in the Currie Cup Final in Bloemfontein on Saturday, he will be chasing another goal entirely.
