The 2018 Currie Cup First Division was the second tier of the 2018 Currie Cup, the 80th edition of the annual South African rugby union competition organised by the South African Rugby Union. It was played between 24 August and 19 October 2018 and featured seven of the eight teams that played in 2017, following Namibian side {{Rut|Welwitschias}}' withdrawal.

The competition was won by the {{Rut|SWD Eagles}}, who beat the {{Rut|Falcons}} 36–27 in the final played on 19 October 2018.

Competition rules and information

There were seven participating teams in the 2018 Currie Cup First Division. They played each other once during the pool stage, either at home or away. Teams receive four points for a win and two points for a draw. Bonus points were awarded to teams that scored four or more tries in a game, as well as to teams that lost a match by seven points or less. Teams were ranked by log points, then points difference (points scored less points conceded).

The top four teams in the pool stage qualified for the semifinals, which were followed by a final.{{cite press release | url=http://sarugby.co.za/article.aspx?category=sarugby/curriecup&id=4302534 | title=Action-packed Currie Cup Premier Division lined up | publisher=South African Rugby Union | date=14 May 2018 | access-date=18 July 2018}}

=Financial crisis and withdrawal of Welwitschias=

The start of the 2018 Currie Cup First Division was marred by financial problems following the South African Rugby Union's announcement that First Division teams' budgets would be cut by 52%. The {{Rut|Griffons}} announced that they would reduce player contracts to 8-month contracts{{cite news | url=https://www.netwerk24.com/Sport/Rugby/griffons-gaan-sy-spelers-net-vir-8-maande-betaal-20180721 | url-access=registration | title=Griffons gaan sy spelers net vir 8 maande betaal | work=Netwerk24 | date=21 July 2018 | access-date=25 August 2018 | language=af}} and the {{Rut|Leopards}} intimated that they might forfeit away matches to save on travel costs.{{cite news | url=https://www.netwerk24.com/Sport/Rugby/luiperds-wil-wegstryde-prysgee-oor-geldknyp-20180815 | url-access=registration | title=Luiperds wil nie weg speel oor geldknyp | work=Netwerk24 | date=15 August 2018 | access-date=25 August 2018 | language=af}} and there were serious concerns about the participation of teams like the {{Rut|Border Bulldogs}} and {{Rut|Eastern Province Elephants}}. Namibian side {{Rut|Welwitschias}} were informed that they would have to pay the travel costs for teams travelling to games in Windhoek, but — after initial reports indicated that they raised the money with the help of World Rugby{{cite news | url=https://www.namibian.com.na/70728/read/Currie-Cup-finally-gets-underway | title=Currie Cup finally gets underway | work=The Namibian | date=24 August 2018 | access-date=25 August 2018}} — they could not raise the required funds and announced their withdrawal from the competition.{{cite press release | url=http://www.sarugby.co.za/article.aspx?category=sarugby/curriecup&id=4370984 | title=Welwitschias withdraw from Currie Cup First Division | publisher=South African Rugby Union | date=24 August 2018 | access-date=25 August 2018}}

The {{Rut|Boland Cavaliers}} kept up the pressure by also securing a narrow away win, beating the {{Rut|Griffons}} 48–45 in Welkom, with Charlie Mayeza scoring two tries and Elgar Watts contributing 15 points in the match for the visitors, while a hat-trick for Japie Nel and a brace for Cody Basson was in vain for the home side.

The {{Rut|SWD Eagles}} moved back to the top of the log following a 54–28 victory over the {{Rut|Boland Cavaliers}}, securing a semifinal spot in the process. Seven different players scored tries for the home side, with fly-half Divan Nel contributing 19 points with the boot, while a brace from loose forward Tapiwa Tsomondo was in vain for the away side.

In the first match of the weekend, the {{Rut|Falcons}} leap-frogged the {{Rut|Leopards}} into second place on the log after winning the match between the teams 41–35, securing a home semifinal against the same opposition. Anrich Richter contributed 18 points for the home team, while a hat-trick for visiting winger Dean Stokes proved futile. The {{Rut|SWD Eagles}} secured top spot after a 36–7 win over bottom-of-the-log {{Rut|Eastern Province Elephants}}, with winger Adri Jacobs scoring two tries, and being awarded to penalty tries in the match. The final place in the play-offs was clinched by the {{Rut|Griffons}}, who beat the {{Rut|Border Bulldogs}} 40–7 with hooker Anrich Alberts getting a hat-trick, and in the processed moved into fourth spot ahead of the {{Rut|Boland Cavaliers}} who was not in action in this round.{{cite press release | url=http://www.sarugby.co.za/article.aspx?category=sarugby/curriecup&id=4402594 | title=SWD, Valke to host First Division semi-finals | publisher=South Africa Rugby Union | date=7 October 2018 | access-date=25 October 2018}}
