The Pumas will enter the match with renew confidence after stunning the 2nd places Toyota Cheetahs on Friday in Bloemfontein.

The Griquas assistant coach and former Springboks, Barend Pieterse, told OFM Sport that the from the Lowveld are in good form at the moment.

“They are actually playing very nice rugby at the moment,” said the former Cheetahs loose-forward.

They've got something of everything. They've got some magic in their backline, they've got physically in the front and their set pieces are running well.

“They are always tough, regardless of where you play against them. At seven o'clock game in Nelspruit is always going to be tough for us.

“Having said that, we are really up for it. The guys are really excited and we've had a good week of preparation so far.”
