Griquas Host Pumas in Kimberley for Currie Cup Final

A near‑capacity crowd at Suzuki Stadium will help decide whether Griquas keep their title or the Pumas capture a second Currie Cup.

Overview

  • The final is set for Saturday, 12 September with kick‑off at 15:00 SAST at Suzuki Stadium and Morné Ferreira appointed as referee.
  • Griquas named an unchanged matchday 23 for the decider and will hand flyhalf George Whitehead his 150th appearance for the club.
  • Head coach Pieter Bergh says the defending champions will pursue an all‑out attacking game plan after finishing the regular season top of the table with the competition’s best points and defensive record.
  • The Airlink Pumas arrive after a gritty 27‑24 semi win over the Cheetahs and are presented as a genuine threat to overturn Griquas on the park.
  • Coaches have prepared for softer ground after recent rain, local ticket sales point to a packed stadium, and the match will be broadcast live on SuperSport.
