The standout fixture in round three of the Pick n Pay Women's Super League 2 on Saturday sees the only two unbeaten sides meet at Olën Park in Potchefstroom, where the Leopards Women host the Hollywood Foundation Pumas Women.
The Pumas arrive having scored 132 points across their opening two away matches while conceding 42, with 22 tries — the bulk coming from the backs. Alicia Mahlalela and Megan Guambe have each crossed four times already. The Leopards, playing at home for the first time this season, have themselves gone through two rounds unbeaten with 12 tries and a maximum points haul. By full-time, one of those records goes.
In Kimberley, AVBOB Griquas Women return from a bye and host Limpopo Blue Bulls Women at Suzuki Stadium. Griquas are at full strength for only their second outing, while Limpopo make their first road trip of the season after two home fixtures. Head coach Claudia Francke is absent on Junior Springbok Women duty, with assistants Coerispa Links and Shalaine Maarman in charge.
At Barnard Stadium in Kempton Park, Valke Women host Griffons Women. Valke head coach Catherine Lowane missed some preparation time due to her involvement with the SA Schools Girls side, but the team have started the season in strong form. The Griffons showed attacking intent last weekend, putting 37 points on Limpopo away from home. Scrumhalf Pinky Touto and fullback Line Viviers will look to exploit space if their pack can hold its own.
