Pumas' late try seals the victory
Forget about the bomb squad, ladies' rugby teams are bomb squads on their own. The Pumas and Griffons teams did not hold back and played hard rugby in round two of the Women's First Division that took place on July 12 at Patriot High School's fields. The match was very even and devolved into a seesaw battle, with neither team maintaining control of the game for long. Whenever one team managed to break through, the other would step up its defences and respond with fierce counterattacks. Both teams' forwards worked tirelessly, setting the pace for high-speed backline manoeuvres. With the clock winding down, the Pumas dug deep and from a scrum, sliced passed, securing the winning try. The final score was 19–24. Sbusiso Ngomane, the Pumas assistant coach, said last year they beat the Griffons 12 – 54 on their home ground. 'Credit to them, they changed their squad, only five players were in the team that lost last year. They clearly have put in the work, and they will surprise everyone they will be playing against. We definitely didn't expect a fire backline like that. Holding them back for that long is a testament to our ability to defend. They actually looked like they had watched our matches and properly analysed how we play, that put us under a lot of pressure,' Ngomane said.
