Pumas star to do duty in Cape Town
Yet another Steval Pumas player will join a Super Rugby franchise next year.
The Mpumalanga Rugby Union recently confirmed that the tight head, Vincent Koch will be released for Western Province’s Super campaign. He left with the team yesterday for their game at Allianz Park against Saracens on Sunday. Koch will return to the Lowveld-based side for the Currie Cup season.
The 2013 Premier Division Currie Cup champions started with a seven-week training programme on Monday with six new faces.
Fullback of the Leopards who also started for Pukke in the Varsity Cup this year, Hoffman Maritz and flanker of the Griquas,
Marnus Schoeman will be of great value to the team.
The union could not confirm whether the Blitzbok and former Junior Bokke, Shaun Adendorff and Western Province’s Neil Rautenbach, will choose Mbombela as their new rugby home.
The injured Faf de Klerk and Rudi Mathee started training with the team again on Monday.
