Commentary

Minute	Commentary
80	FULL-TIME - Griquas try to run it out of their 22 from the restart, but the ball is dislodged and the whistle goes for full-time, WP take a deserved 25-20 win, and Griquas are left with a losing bonus point. Join us in a short while for the Test between South Africa and Argentina, while we will also have some more Currie Cup rugby later!
79	TRY - Jaco Nepgen barges over from close range, after a few quick phases. The conversion is wide, but at 20-25 there is hope for the home team
78	There is a heap of bodies over the line and the call goes to the TMO, who rules that it is inconclusive.
77	WP conceding a number of penalties at the breakdown and the referee now has a chat to Province captain Deon Fourie
75	Griquas pushing hard now for a try that will get them back into the game. Working the ball upfield with their forwards
71	Demetri Catrakilis, from about 30m out, slots another PENALTY and the lead stretches to 10 points - 25-15
67	Demetri Catrakilis adds the CONVERSION and WP lead for the first time in the game - 22-15
66	TRY - Steven Kitshoff bursts through a gap as Marcel Brache puts him into space. The call goes to the TMO for possible obstruction and a forward pass. He rules that the try is good
63	Demetri Catrakilis, from about 25m out, slots a PENALTY to level the scores - 15-all
60	WP are simply not playing the territory game well enough. They should be pinning Griquas back in their 22, instead there are too many turnovers.
56	Demetri Catrakilis can't add the extras - 12-15
55	TRY - JP du Plessis gets the second try for Province, after WP opt for a tap-'n-go from a penalty, then a few quick phases and good hands
53	WP now play with the ball in hand and putting the Griquas defence under pressure. They win a penalty deep inside the Griquas 22
50	Francois Brummer has another shot at goal, from 40m out into the wind, but this time it drifts wide.
48	WP have two penalties, set up two line-outs deep inside the Griquas 22 and end up conceding a penalty for holding on in the tackle.
43	Francois Brummer kicks a great PENALTY into the wind to extend Griquas' lead - 15-7
41	The second half is underway
40	Demetri Catrakilis adds the CONVERSION as the HALF-TIME hooter goes - the late strike means WP go into the break just five points (7-12) down. See you in 10 minutes
39	TRY - Ederies Arendse gets WP on the board, as he takes a sublime off-load from Marcel Brachie, who drew two defenders.
35	Griquas now guilty of too many turnovers on attack. They are still deep in WP territory, but just not finding the scoring pass.
30	Western Province have stemmed the scoring, but they are still playing most of the match inside their own half. Griquas will want one more score before the break - as they will be into the wind in the second half.
25	Even with the ball in hand WP are not looking convincing. They work their way up towards halfway, only to then turn the ball over through a knock-on.
20	Griquas still dominating territory, using the strong wind to good affect - pinning WP inside their own 22.
15	Demetri Catrakilis gets a chance to put WP on the board, but he pushes it wide and the lead is still 12 points.
12	TRY - Wing Wilmaure Louw goes over for the second of the match, as Griquas continue to pile of the pressure with quick ruck ball and sublime handling.
8	The conversion attempt is wide, but Griquas have an early lead - 5-0
7	TRY - lock Rynhard Landman goes over for the first try, with Marnitz Boshoff running into a m gap and putting Rocco Jansen into space. Jansen then off-loaded to the big lock for the score.
5	Griquas looking impressive with ball in hand and worked their way into the WP 22 before being forced into touch
1	This time Francois Brummer adds the CONVERSION and the lead is 12-0
0	Demetri Catrakilis gets the game underway
-5	The teams are going through their final pre-match routines and we are minutes away from kick-off.
-8	It is a warm, but windy, day here in Kimberley
-10	Both teams come off disappointing losses last week and will need to get their campaigns back on track very quickly!
