The semi-final between Northern Transvaal and Western Province was notable for a brutal tackle by Province's Morné du Plessis on Northern Transvaal's Naas Botha. Pierre Edwards slotted the resulting penalty to win the game 17-15, and du Plessis had to be escorted off the field by police in front of the incensed Loftus Versfeld crowd.Carme Liam Del October 21, 2012 When Naas was Currie Cup baas https://www.sundaytimes.timeslive.co.za/sunday-times/lifestyle/2012-10-21-when-naas-was-currie-cup-baas/ 2026-09-08 Sunday Times enon Published October 9, 2018 Currie Cup has lost its lustre https://www.sarugbymag.co.za/currie-cups-lost-lustre/ 2026-09-08 SA Rugby magazine en-US
