Witbank - Free State Cheetahs flyhalf Sias Ebersohn scored a late try and then nailed the touchline conversion to set up a 29-23 (halftime 7-13) victory over the Pumas in an enthralling Currie Cup Premier Division match played at the Puma Stadium on Friday night.
The Pumas, who shipped whole truckloads of points (80 to be exact) against the same opponents in the first round fixture in Bloemfontein, deserved at least a share of the spoils in this nailbiter.
But in the end, and reduced to 14 men, they ran out of steam with just five minutes left having led for large chunks of the match, allowing Ebersohn to snatch a somewhat fortuitous victory.
