Following their 26-18 win over the newcomers, the Leopards, last week, Davids did not see the need for changing a winning formula.
With outside centre Cornal Hendricks ruled out through a back injury, Deon Scholtz shifts from the right wing to No.13, with utility back Mark Harris coming in at No.14 jersey.
Alvin Hugo comes in on the bench to cover the outside backs.

cant honestly say I recognise anybody except for Dewey Swartbooi, very young side.
17 Jane du Toit – Huh, they got girls in the team?
@diablo (Comment 2) : it’s mean to be Jané… pronounced “jshaaaanay!”
Watch Marnus Hugo. He played one year ahead (same year as Hoffman) of Duvenhage and also a Boland Cricketer. He was in the Sharks Academy after school but came back to Paarl.
Jacobie Adriaanse bigger brother of Lourens who plays for WP U21 and also a Gimmie. Sure you lot know Watss & Burke, old Maties.
Think Boland will be a bit rusted still, they took their top players out of the Vodacom Cup to condition them better for the CC
Gah – need to fix this team announcement. At least two of the players have their first names and last names mixed up!
