George Whitehead boots Griquas to back-to-back Currie Cup titles
The Griquas retook the lead for the first time since the opening 10 minutes just seconds before the final 10, after a scrum penalty from just in their own half was hoofed over by Whitehead to put them ahead.
They secured the lineout and set a monster maul, rumbling close for replacement hooker Janco Uys to break off and be driven over by a couple of teammates for the winning try, which was fittingly converted by Whitehead to give them a seven point lead, which they held onto over the final few minutes.
In the 20th minute the Griquas responded with some good play in the ors 22m, a loose pass was tapped back by a Pumas player, but inside centre Mnombo Zwelendaba was first to the ball, stepped a couple of defenders and went over for the converted score and a 10-7 lead.
