The Eagles saved their best for last when they trounced the Pumas 50-12 in a Vodacom Cup rugby match at George on Saturday. The match was only of academic value and neither side qualified for the cup play-offs. The Eagles scored eight tries to the two of the Pumas.
The Free State Cheetahs emphasised that they are top contenders to lift the Vodacom Cup title this year with a solid 34-20 win over the Pumas in Witbank on Friday night. In other matches, the Wildebeest beat the Griffons 33-7 in Welkom and a brace of tries by Wylie Human sealed another victory for Western Province.

In a game riddled with errors, turnovers and bad handling at times — not surprising in the searing heat of a Durban summer’s day devoid of a cooling breeze — the Pumas upset the Wildebeest by 30 points to 10 in their first-round Vodacom Cup rugby match at the Absa Stadium on Saturday.
