Last week the Griquas suffered their first defeat in four games when they went down 45-42 to the Lions in Kimberley.

Thus far the Griquas haven’t lost an away game, but they are aware that the Bulls will be a formidable opponent in Pretoria.

The Griquas tighthead, Janu Botha, told OFM Sport that their setpiece will be very important.

“We are in the classic underdog position, but that's where we as the Griquas love to be, so we are fine with that.

“It's definitely going to be a battle in the setpiece. Our lineouts were a problem against the Lions, we've worked hard on that and we just want to work on our momentum with the scrums.

“It's definitely going to be a fierce fight, but if all goes according to plan, we can get the win.”

Wednesday's game at Loftus Versfeld kicks off at 16:45.
