Mohoje was named in the starting team and he will no doubt enjoy some much-needed game time again in Welkom.

Mohoje is no stranger to the Griffons as he has previously donned the famous purple jersey. Mohoje’s Cheetahs teammate, Janus Venter, has been named on the bench for the game and he will cover at hooker.

The prop, Mox Mxoli, who is also at the Cheetahs, will enjoy some game time as well and like Venter, is also on the bench.

Tomorrow’s game in Welkom kicks off at 15:00. In Potchefstroom the defending champions, the Leopards, will tackle the Boland Cavaliers at Olën Park. This game gets underway at 14:30.
