Pumas unchanged for WP
TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT: Pumas head coach Jimmy Stonehouse has revealed his team to face the Western Province in their Currie Cup Round 11 clash in Newlands Stadium on Sunday.
The Pumas’ Round 10 clash against the Sharks was called off, following a Covid-19 outbreak at the Durban-based franchise.
The coach has opted to retain the starting XV with Pieter van Vuuren handed the captain’s armband.
Ignatius Prinsloo, Simon Westraadt and Etienne Janeke will pack down in the front row.
While loose forwards Willie Engelbrecht will don the No.8 jersey against the WP.
Englebrecht will certainly be a major boost as the No.8 recently returned from a loan deal at the Stormers.
