Ernst Stapelberg starts at flyhalf again after playing at fullback against the Leopards.

This sees Benhard Janse van Rensburg moving to the bench and Darren Adonis moving back to fullback.

JP Coetzee will start on the wing in the place of Adonis.

No changes have been made upfront.

The Griquas coach, Peter Engeldow, told OFM Sport that they expect nothing less than another tough derby.

“Free State is always an exciting game for us, both teams play expansive running rugby so we are in for a hard battle.

"We worked very hard on our defence and our set piece, so we are very focused on doing our thing and making sure we are ready for the game on Sunday."

Sunday afternoons’ game in Rustenburg kicks off at 13:00.
