The DHL Stormers will reportedly face the 2022 Currie Cup champions, the Pumas, in a practice match in Nelspruit next week.
The clash, scheduled for Wednesday, 18 September, will help both teams prepare for next season. The Stormers are gearing up for their 2024-25 Vodacom URC opener against Ospreys on 28 September in Wales while the Pumas are set to face Emerging Ireland in the Toyota Challenge Series on 2 October., Pumas head coach Jimmy Stonehouse views this match as vital preparation. “We need a decent pre-season.
The Pumas’ defeat to the Cheetahs last week end the Lowvelders’ 2024 Currie Cup campaign, and Stonehouse emphasised the need for improvement in key areas, notably the set piece and decision-making. “Our scrum hasn’t been good enough this year,” he admitted. “Our group of players needs to function better together.”Saluting SA’s unheralded rugby heroesOde to World Cup finalBoks need to make mentality adjustmentFive key areas the Boks need to dominate for first victoryFrom the mag: Foreign Favourites
