Five changes for Tukkies
Freddie Grobler, the coach of FNB Tukkies, has made five changes to his team for their crucial Varsity Cup Round Five match against FNB Shimlas in Bloemfontein on Monday.
Despite their 22-24 defeat at the hands of a resurgent FNB Ikeys, Tukkies are still second on the standings in the FNB Varsity Cup presented by Steinhoff International.
However, Grobler felt it necessary to change his line-up for the trip to Bloemfontein.
Elwyn Fransman comes in on the right-wing, with Luvuyo Mhlobiso moving to the left-wing and Aaron Denenga dropping out of the matchday 22 altogether.
The other backline change sees Christian van den Berg coming in at scrumhalf for Ignick Windvogel, who drops down to the bench.
The pack shows two changes; with Ntokozo Mashele in on the flank for Devin Oosthuizen and Branco Visagie starting at hooker ahead of Kurt Haupt.
FNB Tukkies: 15 Johan Jackson, 14 Elwyn Fransman, 13 Gerhard van der Merwe, 12 Franco Booysen, 11 Luvuyo Mhlobiso, 10 Juan-Claude Roos, 9 Christian van den Berg, 8 Willie Nel, 7 Ntokozo Mashele, 6 Danie Crous, 5 Henjo van Niekerk, 4 Johan de Bruin, 3 Peet Vorster, 2 Branco Visagie, 1 Ettienne Breytenbach.
