Pumas vs Griquas Predictions

The Pumas dominated against Griquas less than a month ago and that match was played in Kimberley. Griquas still have a good side and should be competitive, but I don’t see them getting inside eight points in Nelspruit.

Pumas Form

The 2022 Currie Cup champions and 2023 runners-up have started the season well with two wins and a defeat in three matches.

In the opening round, the Pumas beat Griquas in Kimberley 44-24 with a very convincing performance. They fell on hard times the following week, losing 75-21 at home to the Lions.

However, the Nelspruit side bounced right back, winning 31-21 against the Sharks in Durban last weekend.

Pumas Injuries & Team News

The Pumas are likely to pick a similar side to last weekend, depending on injuries.

Griquas Form

Griquas reached the 2022 Currie Cup final and just missed out on the playoffs last season. They are generally a very competitive side, but this season has not started all that well.

The Kimberley side lost their opener to these very opponents on home soil before beating the Sharks 34-31 at home the following week.

Last week, on the road in Johannesburg, Griquas kept things tight against the Lions for a while, but the hosts were too good in the end, winning 25-13.

Griquas Injuries & Team News

There are some injury concerns in the Griquas camp. Their side will be announced later this week.

Verdict

Pumas v Griquas

I am backing the Pumas to cover the -8 handicap in this Currie Cup clash.
