Griquas coach Peter Engeldow has shuffled up his team that this weekend face Western Province in a must win Currie Cup match in Cape Town.


Majority of Engeldow's changes are among the forwards as Devon Marthinus, Kwezi Mkhafu and Nicolaas Oosthuizen make up a new look front row while FP Pelser returns to the fold on lock.

On eighthman Conway Pretorius reclaims his place in the starting line up from Jono Janse Van Rensburg.

The only changes at the back sees Zak Burger earn his first start at scrumhalf in the place of Christiaan Meyer who moves to the bench.

The Griquas will be a more confident side this time around after picking up their first win of the competition last week when they beat the Free State Cheetahs 52-24 in Kimberley.

The Peacock Blues will however not have the luxury of home ground advantage when they travel to Newlands to face a unbeaten WP side that have so far picked up maximum points in their 3 fixtures thus far.

Should the Griquas harbor any hopes of making it to the knockout stages of the competition they will have little choice but to win when matters get underway at 19:30 on Saturday.
