Western Province coach Allister Coetzee is taking no chances with team selection even if the opposition are almost at the opposite end of the log.
Allister Coetzee has selected a very well balanced squad of stars and rookies. Juan De Jongh and Gio Aplon have been drafted straight back into the starting lineup for this weekends match up against the Pumas making it clear for all to see that Coetzee is not taking this game lightly. He has also named youngsters JJ Engelbrecht and Louis Schreuder on the bench though, creating to possibility of giving the young blood game time in preperation for the future.
Western province should walk this match comfortably but referee Pro Legoete may be a good leveling factor.

Seems that bet on WP winning by less than 26 would have been a good one.
Why the hell is Hoffman trying so hard?? Stick to the basics dude!!
Good call hey Andre?
Making money out of useless games are awesome!!
@wpw (Comment 36) :

Come on Province! We want tries!!

Well done WP
Well done Province got a point on SB
but thats all was 26 points out 
I had them by 38!! Margin point!! Woohoo!!
does anyone know why the pumas change jerseys at half time i.e. they had white jerseys in the 1st half and grey ones in the 2nd half, I find this weird, they did the same kind of thing last year as well
war1
Maybe their hygiene is very important to them!
@wpw (Comment 79) : I can understand changing jerseys at half time, but that wouldnt they at least be the same, these guys have completely new kits with different colours, I dont understand it
