The Pumas, igniting the field with their dynamic play, were unstoppable from the get-go. Fisanti, the flanker in formidable form, was at the heart of the action, crossing the try line three times in what can only be described as a tour de force performance.

Not to be overshadowed, Ruwald van der Merwe and Sango Xamlashe also turned up the heat. Van der Merwe, a powerhouse in the loose forward slots, paired brilliantly with Xamlashe, whose runs through the center were nothing short of electrifying. Together, they contributed significantly to the team’s seven tries, rounding off what was a comprehensive team effort.
Elsewhere in the SA Cup, the Cheetahs made a roaring comeback with a 64-7 demolition of the Leopards in Potchefstroom, signaling their intent to bounce back from the previous week's setback against Boland. This round of matches sets the stage for an intriguing set of fixtures next Saturday, with the Valke taking on the Griquas, the Border Bulldogs facing off against the SWD Eagles, and the Boland Cavaliers clashing with the Griffons.
With performances like these, the SA Cup is shaping up to be a thrilling contest of skill, strategy, and sheer will to win. The Pumas, in particular, have sent a clear signal to their rivals – they’re here not just to play, but to dominate.
