Airlink Pumas all set for debut SA Cup home game at Mbombela Stadium

A week on from the perfect start to the inaugural SA Cup, the Airlink Pumas are all set for their first home game of the season against Eastern Province on Friday March 29.

The Airlink Pumas will be in fine form when they take to the field at Mbombela Stadium on Friday March 29 for their first home match of the first-ever SA Cup as they face Eastern Province.

The Mpumalanga outfit got the season off to a perfect start at Outeniqua Park in George on Friday March 22, courtesy of a dominant 43-22 win over the SWD Eagles. They will now face yet another coastal opponent in the form of Eastern Province.

Pumas coach Jimmy Stonehouse has made one change to the starting XV that downed SWD last week, bringing in Jaco Labuschange as blind-side flanker in place of André Fouché. On the bench, centre Gene Willemse comes in in the place of replacement fly-half Brandon Thomson.

The full squad named for the Eastern Province clash is:
