It’s the first game of the 2010 Currie Cup and the champions take on the newcomers at Loftus Versveld.
The Bulls are weakened, but they have depth aplenty, while the Pumas have included a few lads who have played age-group rugby for the Sharks. I know who I’m shouting for, but alas my money is on a home win.

Replacements: 16 Bandise Maku, 17 Bees Roux, 18 Juandre Kruger, 19 CJ Stander, 20 Danie Faasen, 21 Francois Brummer, 22 Hayden Groepes.
Pumas: 15 Carl Bezuidenhout, 14 Du-Wayne Smart, 13 Ashwin Scott, 12 Jevon Botha, 11 Shaun Venter, 10 Ricardo Croy, 9 Tian Meyer, 8 Junior Bester, 7 Eduan van der Walt, 6 Corné Steenkamp, 5 Marius Coetzer, 4 Luhan Velthuizen, 3 Ashley Buys, 2 Hannes Franklin (captain), 1 Dawie Steyn.
Replacements: 16 Torsten van Jaarsveld, 17 Ronnie Uys, 18 Willem Serfontein, 19 Doppies le Roux, 20 Jacques Coetzee, 21 Elgar Watts, 22 Alistair Kettledas.
Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria – Kick-off: 19.10; 17.10 GMT
Referee: Stuart Berry (SARU)
Assistant referees: Sandile Mayende (SARU), M de Villiers (Lions)
TMO: JC Fortuin (Western Province)
