Pumas (7) 33 / Griquas (34) 37 (Final Score)

The Ford Pumas hosted the GWK Griquas at Mbombela Stadium, Nelspruit at 19:10 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 & CSN on TV in SA.

The GWK Griquas started like a house on fire and by halftime had built up a 27-point lead, then the Ford Pumas came hard and fast at them, eventually ending only 7 points away from a draw.

Good entertaining and hard running rugby played by both sides.
