WP coach Allister Coetzee has made three changes to his side for their clash against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein this Saturday evening.
Nic Groom and Damian de Allende replace the injured duo of Dewaldt Duvenage (broken leg) and Ederies Arendse (shoulder) respectively. Some may see this as a blessing considering the performances of these two young starlets when they came on as substitutes during last week’s annihilation of the Bulls at Newlands. WP supporters have been crying out for a scrumhalf with a quick pass as well as the ability to take sniping runs which is exactly what Groom did to good effect last week.
The final change to the starting XV sees Brok Harris replace Frans Malherbe at tighthead.
