JIMMY Stonehouse’s Pumas will face Griquas in the Currie Cup final.

Griquas will host the Pumas in the Currie Cup final on Saturday, September 12, after the two sides booked their places in contrasting fashion in yesterday’s semi-finals.

The defending champions looked every inch the team to beat in Kimberley, blowing away a young Lions side 52-12 in a seven-try demolition.

The Lions showed plenty of fight, but were ultimately outclassed as the Griquas pack laid the platform for a hard-running backline that ruthlessly exploited the opportunities that came its way.

Pieter Bergh’s side have looked the real deal throughout the tournament, finishing top of the log after winning their final six league matches in a row.
