Pumas back in the Currie Cup
After two hard fought weekends in the promotion / relegation series between the Steval Pumas and the Griquas, the Pumas secured a spot in next year’s Currie Cup Premier Division by beating the Griquas 33-15 at Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit on Friday night.
Having narrowly lost the first match in Kimberly in the previous week, the Pumas needed to win by at least three points, and they did that comfortably after they ran away with the match in the second half.
In front of a passionate home crowd hungry for top class rugby, the pumas players took the second half by 17 – 3 points, securing their spot for next year.
