Successful return to home fortress for Pumas…
The Pumas returned to their winning ways at Mbombela Stadium on Friday night, defeating the GWK Griquas 33-15 at the stadium that is proving to be a bit of a fortress in the early stages of the 2014 ABSA Currie Cup.
The end scoreline does not portray the whole story as the Steval Pumas went into the half time break trailing by one point with the visitors dominating possession in the opening 40 minutes. But their determined defence in and patience on attack was rewarded as the game opened up a bit in the second half with the Pumas scoring the bonus point try after the final hooter.
