Another exciting week is under-way as the STEVAL PUMAS prepares for their Quarter Final encounter of the 2014 Vodacom Cup on Friday in Nelspruit.

Coach Jimmy Stonehouse was forced to make one change to the team who ran over the Golden Lions in Alberton last Saturday at the Alberton Rugby Club. Drew Van Coller will be replaced by De-Jay Terblanche who starts up front with his team mate Vincent Koch and the evergreen Jaco Bouwer gets his chance by starting from the bench.

Jimmy Stonehouse said this is a do or die game as all the good work done during the season could easily get undone by losing this weekend. It’s important for the PUMAS to do well in the Vodacom Cup and winning it this year out-right has been the goal all along.

We are looking forward to a entertaining but tough rugby match this weekend against Province in Nelspruit.
