Botes's attempt being reviewed now...

Botes peels off the back of the maul, and darts for the line but, it held up. Play is brought back as the ref was playing advantage,

Pumas punished for holding onto the ball on the ground, and Zeilinga finds great touch driving the play into the Pumas 22. Attacking line out now for the Sharks and will look to capitalise on their first trip into the Pumas 22. Drive is set up

The Pumas doing most of the early running enjoying good early possession, and not afraid to run at the Sharks defense.

Scrum set up just outside the Sharks 22 . Both packs will look to establish dominance in the scrums.

The Pumas applying the early pressure on the Sharks who received the kick off, and forced a turnover. After putting together a good couple of phases the ball is spilled forward and the Sharks have the first put in to the scrum.

JW Jonker now leads the Pumas out to reach a milestone of his own. Playing in his 50th Currie Cup match this evening.

Jacques Botes leads the Sharks onto the field in his 150th game in the Currie Cup. Started his career with the Pumas now a Legend at the Sharks. He becomes the first player to play 150 Currie Cup matches.

An unbeaten Sharks team travel to Nelspruit to face a Pumas team who have shown that they are no pushovers. The Sharks will want to keep their winning streak alive if they wish to keep the pressure on this years early front runners in the Currie Cup who are DHL Western Province. Will the Pumas defend their home turf or will the Sharks come away with the spoils. Kick off is just under 20 minutes away, and we can expect a mouthwatering encounter.
