Preview: Currie Cup prelim, Round 6

Unbeaten log leaders Griquas return to Currie Cup Premier Division qualifying action on Saturday when they host the Falcons in Kimberley.

 

The Griquas enjoyed a bye the past weekend following their narrow win over the Pumas in a friendly last Wednesday. 

 

This break allowed the Leopards to close the gap to just one point at the top of the standings.

 

The Leopards moved to 17 league points after their massive 70-25 victory over the   Griffons.

 

Griquas (18) will be looking to collect the maximum points from their home match against the fifth placed Falcons to maintain their slender lead.

 

SWD Eagles are third on 15 points, followed by the Boland Cavaliers (12), Falcons (10), Griffons (8) and Border Bulldogs (2).

 

The final round of matches will take place next weekend.

 

The Falcons gave the Boland a lot of trouble before the Cavaliers could finally clinched their match last week in Kempton Park, thereby serving notice they will be no pushovers in Kimberley.

 

Coach Robert du Preez’s free-scoring Leopards face a difficult task at Wellington against the Boland.

 

The Leopards were in rampant mood last weekend when they posted a runway victory over the Griffons. A Lively match is expected because both teams have exciting backs.

 

The Leopards backline probably have the edge and the Boland defence will have to be solid to keep out the attacking threats of Junior Springbok wings Luther Obi and Sylvian Mahuza as well as fullback Hoffman Maritz.

 

Former Springbok flyhalf Andre Pretorius will captain the Leopards in the No.10 jersey.

 

Boland and SWD Eagles have both played five matches, and although out of contention, the Cavaliers will be looking to finish the qualifying campaign on a high note in front of their home supporters.

 

Border Bulldogs entertain the Falcons in the BCM Stadium in East London on Friday.

 

Last placed Border came close to victory in their previous two matches and they will be desperate to register their first win of the competition.
