The Cell C Sharks have thus beaten the defending champions on both occasions during the regular season this year, and are fizzing to make it three in a row in the semifinal at Hollywoodbets Kings Park tonight.

Captain Reniel Hugo, nevertheless, is fully aware that his team again have a huge battle on their hands today.

“The Pumas are defending champions and will be hungry,” he said at a press conference earlier this week.

“The Pumas pride themselves on the set piece, they are well coached by Jimmy Stonehouse and they are a hard, physical team. They also have X-factor players like Devon Williams at the back, and guys who are good at the kicking game.

“You can’t rest for a single minute against a team like the Pumas, and not expect to be hurt by that.

“We are fortunate, though, to be playing in front of our fans.

“We are a group of desperate men, and we want to go all the way in the Currie Cup.”
