WP knock deep inside their own 22… knocked by Augustus!
We of course have rolling subs in the Currie Cup this year, which means if a player is subbed he can come back…
Don’t know if I like that rule…
WP penalty, good counter-ruck.
Another try to Sergeal Petersen, WP!
Pumas 14 / 50 WP
@ grootblousmile:
That’s good Boks can do with a depth of talented players coming through
Bad forward pass by Trompie Pretorius of the Pumas… eish!

Yes I saw an interview with Pote Human where he was talking about it Makes it interesting and coaches need to think more keeping track of their subs to make it work best.
36 @ Bullscot:
He’s a big unit… and the Bokke can do with a No 8 with real grunt to eventually succeed Duane Vermeulen.
Warren Whiteley, although extremely talented, lacks a bit of serious physical grunt playing against the Big Countries like New Zealand, England, France, Australia…
We need a No 8 who has the best of both worlds… grunt and handling (distribution). We need a thinking player with the physical presence to compliment the thinking game.
I don’t understand why they don’t pick 3 front row replacements. I know the Currie Cup squad is 1 player less but even so what is stopping the coach from picking the extra prop and then one less back?
Good WP steal right near their own goal line… and cleared to touch.
Time to go cheers vir eers
Try Pumas, No 22, Trompie Pretorius!
Pumas 21 / 50 WP
8 Minutes to go in the match.

Cheers Bully… have a good one!
Try Chris Smith, Pumas!
Pumas 28 / 50 WP
Try WP, Herschel Jantjies!
Pumas 28 / 57 WP
3 Minutes to go…
WP penalty on their own 5m line…
Less than a minute to go.
Hooter goes in the background…
Pumas penalty… and ref asks the TMO to look at a WP tackle…
Looks like a tip-tackle… by Ruhan Nel.
Only a penalty…
One last attacking lineout for the Pumas.
Game over…
