Pumas coach Jimmy Stonehouse remained disappointed at losing the Currie Cup final, but praised his injury-ravaged charges for taking their title defence back to the final. | Sport24news
Stonehouse bemoaned the loss of several players to other unions and injury, but said it was important for the Pumas, along with the Griquas, to stay alive."We lost a few guys and when I saw the loose forwards and Tapiwa Mafura, I jokingly thought it was a Pumas team.
"But, to keep on playing well and make it to the final is just amazing, even though some of the players didn't always handle the pressure well. Stonehouse refused to lay the blame for not getting 50/50 calls at the door of referee Cwengile Jadezweni, saying they tended to get the wrong penalties in the wrong area of the field.They were also shut out by a Cheetahs defence that only allowed them to score one tries, while the Cheetahs scored three.
