The long shot penalty is struck by Tiaan Swanepoel. 3-0. Pumas are offsides on their 22m. Swanepoel converts the penalty 6-0. Brilliant try by the Pumas. They work a lineout and run the ball.

It leads to a penalty at the ruck which Swanepoel slots 9-7. Penalty against the WP scrum and the Pumas have a chance to get back in front via a Muller penalty. 9-10.

A massive onslaught by WP using their big forward ball-carriers to bash provides the opportunity for big Jaco Willemse to pick and dive over. Swanepoel converts. 16-10. Some action as WP attack from well inside their own half. First energy is injected by Mervano Da Silva with Saal also making a good run down the right wing before he runs out of space. WP run the ball from a lineout. Abrahams joins the line at full tilt in midfield. He breaks through a couple of tackles to generate the frontfoot ball. Quickball stollen sees Province attack right and Saal is in near the corner. Points machine Swanepoel makes even kicks from the corners look easy. 23-10. The Pumas have another player sent to the bin just moments before the first one returns. Speed merchant Saal scores another try. This one comes off a Pumas mistake just before the break when they cough up ball while trying to let it go through the hands to the wing. Saal picks up and shifts gears to leave defenders in his wake. 30-10. The Pumas go wide to the right this time and once again their fullback Barend Smit looks really good as he joins the line with perfect timing. He sets right wing Mfundo Ndlovu up for a well-executed try. 30-15. Halftime 30-15 Centre Justin Heunis almost scores for WP but the final pass from Edwill vd Merwe is made with a foot on the touchline therefore lineout. stollen Pumas exploits a loose play situation to come up with a good run down the right flank.

He gets in for the try which Muller converts. 33-25. Pumas finish game with a strong drive against a very tired WP pack. Eventually lock Diaan Bester comes up with the try. Muller converts. 33-32.
What a disappointment Province. Surely this is not the best we’ve got. I really hope we’ve got a better tighthead for the rest of the tournament. Number 2 and 3 a definite liability. Number 3 got nailed on both sides of the scrum. Thank heavens for Tiaan Swanepoel. Should have been in the original squad. stollen
I rest my case wrt Tiaan Swanepoel. His boot will have to win more games for WP because the team did not perform as what most people thought. Hopefully they can only perform better, although the next game will be difficult again. Forwards look unfit and as a unit did do well.
Good teams win on off days, despite everything that did not function properly and can be tweaked in any event. It’s not like there was a huge fanfare and then they lost after all…Let’s see how the new front row does in the next game, how Cloete functions with Willemse and how the backs perform with Williams, Muller and Pieterse who should get a full game. A Special stollen mention to Tiaan, stollen well done son, you should have been there in the first place. Congrats stollen boys, after all the moaning you have kept our winning record in tact, hope you shut a few mouths in the next game.
@ Rooibaard : Jerome is ‘n spesialis vaskop en Wicus kan albei kante speel, so gee kans, hulle sal nog die beste kombinasies vind. Feit is, op ‘n afdag het ons steeds net amper verloor, steeds beter as amper gewen… stollen
WP stollen is n goeie span maar van die voorspelers is te groot en onfiks dit is hoekom hulle nie die pas kon byhou nie en dit het die WP amper gebyt, as my span teen die wp speel sal ek die spel oopmaak en hulle van hulle voete af hardloop, en hoekom is daar van die beter spelers in julle akadmie-span hulle is voor n klein bietjie kleiner maar hulle speel n barshou, dink aan die 6 en 8 van die akademie-span
@ kwartlyn : lyk my keurders was onder druk om suidelike voorstede se skole spelers die jaar te kies die spesifieke skool wat so goed doen met spelers in die span het nog net verloor teen Gim, Paul Roos en Wynberg.
