Griquas make just two changes for Bulls

The other change is at flank, where Hanru Sirgel starts at blindside flank in place of Michael Amiras.
Amiras drops down to the replacement bench.
Griquas started their season with a couple of narrow defeats – 20-30 to the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein and 23-24 to the Sharks in Durban – has won both their home games.
They beat the Pumas 41-20 and WP 22-20.
