The Currie Cup promotion / relegation match between Boland and the Pumas took place today at Boland Park, Wellington. Boland won the match by a whisker, 36 / 35.

The match see-sawed with both teams leading from time to time, the Boland snatching their narrow win close to full-time.
The stand-out player for Boland was Zandré Jordaan, who also scored a brace of tries.
