Fourie freshens things up

Fourie has looked to freshen up his team, who's last victory came against the Kings in Kimberely, in a bid to put one over the inconsistent Kings.

He will be happy to see that Michael van der Spuy has recovered from injury – he will replace Jonathan Franke at outside centre.

Gouws Prinsloo comes in at fullback in the place of Riaan Viljoen.

Last week's star performer Ruan Nel has been called up to the Springbok Sevens academy team and he will be replaced by Danie Dames on the right wing.

Ntabeni Dukisa will once again take his place on the left wing after Jacquin Jansen had a rather quiet match last week against the Free State Cheetahs.

Jonathan Adendorf will move from No.7, back to his more familiar lock position – incumbent No.7 Jonathan Janse van Rensburg makes his way back, at the expence of lock Jaco Nepgen.

Ewald van der Westerhuizen comes into the team in place of Stephan Kotze who moves down to the bench.
