Jimmy Stonehouse, head coach of the New Nation Pumas announce his squad that will host the Tafel Lager Griquas team tomorrow @ 16h00 in Nelspruit. Only two changes were made to the squad that travelled to Loftus Versveld a week ago.
The Pumas had a brilliant win (39-10) against the Lions in their Round 1 fixture at home. Their Round 2 visit to Pretoria ended in a 27-32 loss to the Vodacom Bulls in a game many said they deserved to win.
