Curry CupThe NPC doesnt seem as hard fought, But then I am from SA so i am going to say that!! He Go the Sharks!!
The Curry Cup
As an impartial (Australian) I have to disagree with the trend and say the NPC. Although the Curry Cup is a good competition and the South African forwards are some of the best in the world, the NPC appears to be a much tougher league with an amazing depth pool (as well as being more entertaining to watch), I don't think that the South Africans have the depth that the Kiwis do.
Obviously the best provincial comp as far as saturation of high profile players is the Guiness Premiership in England but that has a lot to do with their ability be able to buy a large bulk of the elite English, French, Irish and Scottish players as well as being a big fat retirement package for the Southern Hemisphere players. In saying that, it doesn't always make for interesting viewing as the games are often stop-start affairs.
Please ansewer Fastest Rugby player?
Shame on all of you for spelling the Currie cup wrong, especially the people who claim to be South African *grin*But seriously, I would have to agree, the level of players really show a huge difference. New Zealand's super 14 sides are very tough but there is just something lacking at the provincial level.

NPC FOR SUREIs it normal to be nervouse before a rugby match?
Definaitly NPC, even if i'm an South Africain, i watch a lot of NPC or Air New Zealand Cup as it is know from this year on. If you'll just look at the tempo at witch they play the game, it's lightning fast, to tell you the truth, French club rugby is even played at a faster pace than the Currie Cup. The 1 thing that place's the NPC above any other compition in the world though, is their rucking and mauling, it's devistating and brutal, just as it is suppose to be.Cheers Schuan
Hi! what are some simple costume ideas for a street party / rugby sevens weekend?
curry cup.w.p. jou lekker ding...What is the name of hooker for the england rugby league team?
roadtrip088 makes the best points here. The Air New Zealand Cup has 14 teams which represent only 5 Super 14 teams.Not every team is up to Currie cup standard, but as a whole, the Air New Zealand Cup is more robust and tougher than the Currie Cup.
