Griquas opt for continuity against the Bulls─── MORGAN PIEK 07:52 Fri, 12 May 2023
The Griquas have opted for continuity ahead of Saturday's Currie Cup game against the Bulls in Kimberley.
The Peacock Blues have named an unchanged backline for the game, while there are few changes upfront.
Dylan Sjöblom comes in at lock and will call the lineouts, while in the front row, Kudzwai Dube will start at loosehead prop.
During his debut last week, the live-wire flanker, Thabo Ndimande, did more than enough to earn a starting role again.
The Griquas flyhalf Lubabalo Dobela told OFM Sport that taking their opportunities will be important.
“We are trying to focus a lot now on the detail and stuff that we are doing,” said the former Blitzbok.
“We are trying to take every opportunity that we can because every point is going to count.
“That is where teams are going to win or lose it, if they don't take the opportunities that they are given.”
Saturday's game between the Griquas and Bulls in Kimberley kicks off at 15:05.
Griquas - 15 Ashlon Davids, 14 Rosko Specman, 13 Jay-Cee Nell, 12 Tertius Kruger, 11 Sako Makata, 10 Lubabalo Dobela, 9 Johan Mulder, 8 Carl Els, 7 Hanru Sirgel (captain), 6 Thabo Ndimande, 5 Dylan Sjöblom, 4 Derik Pretorius, 3 Janu Botha, 2 Janco Uys, 1 Kudzwai Dube.
