Griquas change four for Cheetahs derby | News Article

The Tafel Lager Griquas made four changes to their team for Saturday’s Currie Cup derby against the Toyota Cheetahs in Kimberley.


The match will be the final game for both teams in the competition after neither team was able to secure their qualification to the semi-finals.

Scott Mathie has made two changes in his backline, as well as two upfront.

Daniel Kasende starts on the right wing, with Harlon Klaasen slotting in at inside centre. Enver Brandt and Berton Klaassen are the men that will be making way.

In the pack Adre Smith runs out at lock with Ewan Coetzee rotating to the bench. Mox Mxoli returns to the front row while Andrew Beerwinkel moves to the bench.

The extended bench features George Whitehead and Ederies Arendse. The versatile and fleet-footed Masixole Banda could also get a run if he features in the matchday squad.

Kick-off at Tafel Lager Park in Kimberley is at 16:30 on Saturday afternoon.
