The Peacock Blues will be targeting a first win of the campaign and they expect the team from Nelspruit to come at them hard.

The Griquas will field Raegan Oranje and Fiela Boshoff as the halfback combination, while Zander du Plessis slots in at inside centre.

Griquas coach, Pieter Bergh, told OFM Sport that for them continuity is important.

“I've never been a coach that wants to make a lot of changes. I believe in continuity.

“Having a look at our previous games we've made a massive step-up with the setpiece, especially with the lineouts we've improved a lot.

“In the first two weeks of the Currie Cup our setpiece was very good and it's important to have continuity there.”

Wednesday afternoon’s game at Tafel Lager Park in Kimberley kicks off at 15:30.
