Provincial Qualifier: Steval Pumas vs DHL Western Province
Venue: Mbombela Stadium
Date: 20 May 2016
Kick-off: 19:00

Steval Pumas’ head coach, MJ Mentz had to make only one forced change to his starting line-up after Simon Westraadt injured his shoulder in Pretoria last weekend, which will leave him side-lined for several weeks. Mentz left his back line unchanged for the Western Province derby on Friday night, which is the half way mark of the tournament.

“Western Province is a team with flair and we expect an exciting running game this weekend. To build on our momentum we need to focus on the next couple of matches – we had a tough fight in Pretoria, but we are ready for the Mbombela showdown,” Mentz commented.
