Get ready, as Hoërskool Middelburg is set to host the final of the South African Rugby u/21 Shield this Saturday!
The opening whistle will sound at 14:30 this Saturday, with no entry fee required to support our boys in pink.
The Pumas earned their place in the final by vanquishing the Griffons in last weekend’s semi-final showdown, but with the support of the home crowd at Hoërskool Middelburg, the Pumas secured a comfortable victory, with a score of 42–24.
The Elephants, however, are no slouches as they have fought through tusk and nail to book their place in the final after defeating East London’s Border Bulldogs in their semi-final battle by a score of 36–21.
This season’s Pumas side has shattered expectations, led by the Director of Rugby Apie Human and Head Coach Thabang Nkosithe, the team managed to ace every test put in front of them this season, becoming stronger and stronger with each passing game.
They say an elephant never forgets, and with the Pumas purring to end their season on a perfect note, they will be hoping to prove the old adage true with a stellar game of rugby.
The team for this weekend’s final is as follows: 1: Mxolisi Nzama; 2: Erasmus Lourens; 3: Shandor Radnai; 4: Stephen Taylor; 5: Dries du Preez; 6: Ricardo Corriea; 7: Andre Nel; 8: Njabulo Shabangu; 9: Louis de Bruyn; 10: Russwill Fredericks; 11: Seyabonga Ngobeni; 12: Jan Joubert; 13: Vuyelwa Khoza; 14: Leachim Adams; 15: Meshack Nzike; 16: Mzamo Zulu; 17: Aviwe Thomas; 18: Ruan Roos; 19: Adrian Sebenjie; 20: Xander Schoeman; 21: FJ Griesel; 22: Drickus Greef; 23: Tony Morudu; 24: Ruben Kotze; 25: Eduan Naude; 26: Jason Taylor; 27: Chaze Williams.
