Pumas (6) 20 / Lions (27) 34 (Final Score)

The Ford Pumas hosted the MTN Golden Lions 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, SHD & CSN on TV in SA.

It was a game of 2 halves, with the Lions dominating the 1st half and the brave Pumas dominating the 2nd half.

Well after the final hooter, the Lions managed to get their bonus point for tries, via replacement Johan Snyman.

Was a very good game to watch!
