Bulls and
Sharks at Loftus Versfeld.
Not only did the final go the full distance to 100 minutes after extra-time, with the Bulls winning 26-19, but Peyper also had to yank the players off the pitch in the first half over concerns of a thunderstorm that was rolling towards the stadium.
Considered by many to be South Africa s most pedigreed referee currently operating, Peyper allowed for a free-flowing game that saw numerous calls of play on when a knock-on or a scrum penalty would have been accepted.
It was Peyper s fifth Currie Cup final and his experience was on show throughout the contest as he took control of proceedings.
