Griquas have made six changes to their team for the Currie Cup clash against Western Province at Newlands in Cape Town on Saturday.
The backline sees only one tweak with Junior Springbok scrum-half Zak Burger, who impressed off the bench in last weekend’s 52-24 thrashing of the Free State Cheetahs, replacing Christiaan Meyer, who went off the field clutching his hand in that match.
In the pack, Conway Pretorius takes the place of Jonathan Janse van Rensburg at number eight, while FP Pelser comes in for Wandile Putuma at lock.
There is an all-new front-row combination with Khwezi Mafu preferred to Wilmar Arnoldi at hooker, Nicolaas Oosthuizen coming in for Ewald van der Westhuizen at tighthead and Devon Martinus getting the nod ahead of Liam Hendricks at loosehead.
Griquas: 15 AJ Coertzen, 14 Ederies Arendse, 13 Kyle Steyn (c), 12 Andre Swarts, 11 Enver Brandt, 10 George Whitehead, 9 Zak Burger, 8 Conway Pretorius, 7 Sias Koen, 6 Eital Bredenkamp, 5 Pieter Jansen van Vuren, 4 FP Pelser, 3 Nicolaas Oosthuizen, 2 Khwezi Mkhafu, 1 Devon Martinus
