Pumas make Wholesale changes
After a narrow 26-27 loss to the Sharks in Durban, they will face a tough trip to Kimberley – where they will meet a very physical Griquas team.
Vincent Koch's is the most notable absentee from the front row – De-Jay Terblanché comes in for the Springbok prop.
Koch is still nursing a knock to the knee that he picked up while he was a part of the Bok training squad – as a precautionary measure he will be given the week off to recover.
In the backline Hoffmann Maritz replaces John-Wessel Bell at fullback.
Jerome Pretorius and Deon Helberg form a new look centre-pairing.
Justin van Staden also replaces Juan-Claude Roos at flyhalf.
Francois du Toit will play at hooker with Jacques Momberg dropping out of the squad.
Lubabalo Mtyanda makes a welcome return and he will partner Marnus Schoeman at lock – with last weeks two locks, Jaco Bouwer and Marius Coetzer, dropping to the bench.
