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 and the other relegation match showed that there is not much between the bottom 2 Currie Cup Premier Division sides and the top 2 sides in the Currie Cup First Division.

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.

The stand-out player for the Pumas was Allister Ketteldas, who also crossed the try-line twice.
