Pumas Change Two For The Assault On Fort Loftus

 

The Pumas announced their quad that will face the Vodacom Bulls team at Loftus Versfeld in a Round Two Currie Cup match on Friday evening at @19h00. 

The New Nation Pumas will travel to Pretoria full of confidence after their brilliant performance against the Lions in Nelspruit in Round 1. The Pumas scored a 39-10 win dominating all aspects of play against the Lions.

A season-ending injury suffered by loosehead prop Corné Fourie forced the Pumas to replace him with Dewald Maritz who came off the bench against the Lions last weekend. Ruan Kramer is promoted onto the bench in place of Maritz.

The only other change to the starting XV is in the midfield, where Matt Moore, who impressed when he came off the bench last week.  Moore will make his first start for the Pumas in place of Ali Mgijima at inside centre.
