The Pumas struggled with ill-discipline, resulting in yellow cards and a penalty try conceded during the match.

The Pumas have had a mixed run of form on the road, losing to the Cheetahs (42-25), winning at the Bulls (41-7) and the Stormers XXIII (39-13) in their 2025 campaign, before losing to the Sharks (19-13) and the Lions (52-29) in the 2026 campaign.
