Pumas call up tall timber

Published: Thursday, 4. August, 2011 in category Southern Hemisphere

The Pumas have made just one change to their side for the Currie Cup match with the Leopards on Friday in Potchefstroom.

Lock Willem Serfontein is the only casualty from the side that were narrowly defeated by Griquas last weekend, with Rudi Mathee replacing him in the second row.

The Pumas are without a victory so far this season, and will view their match against the Leopards as the best opportunity to pick up a moral boosting win.

Pumas: 15 MJ Mentz, 14 Deon Scholtz, 13 JW Jonker, 12 Tiaan Marx, 11 Shandré Frolick, 10 Coenie van Wyk, 9 Shaun Venter, 8 Christo le Roux, 7 Jaco Bouwer, 6 Corné Steenkamp (captain), 5 Marius Coetzer, 4 Rudi Mathee, 3 Ashley Buys, 2 Marthinus van der Westhuizen, 1 Dawie Steyn.
Replacements: 16 Torsten van Jaarsveld, 17 De-Jay Terblanche, 18 Eduan van der Walt, 19 Reginald Kember, 20 Hendrik van der Nest, 21 Dewald Pretorius, 22 Carl Bezuidenhout.
