Suzuki Griquas has made three changes to his starting line-up for their Carling Currie Cup clash against the Toyota Cheetahs on Friday evening at 17:00.
All the chages were made up front. Malembe Mpofu replaces Derik Pretorius, who moves to the bench, while Carl Els moves from the back of the scrum to replace Marco de Witt at seven. De Witt moves to the bench. In the final change, Gustav Erlank replaces Carl Else at the back of the scrum.
Coach Pieter Bergh emphasised the Cheetahs' shift to a more territorial and kicking game, and said the Griquas need to improve their finishing when in the 22-meter area of the opposition.
Bergh also said Griquas have to realise the importance of discipline and accuracy to avoid mistakes, which cost them opportunities against the Vodacom Bulls a week ago.
