Injuries to Toring Landman and Marnus Schoeman have forced Griquas coach Pote Human into changes ahead of Friday’s Currie Cup match against the Blue Bulls.
Jaco Nepgen moves from blindside flank to lock to cover for the big number 5, who broke his thumb early on at Kings Park last week. Jonathan Adendorff moves off the bench into the vacant number 7 jersey, with Carel Greeff set to make his first start on the other side – a direct replacement for Schoeman.
RJ Liebenberg and Leon Karemaker come onto the bench as forward replacements, leaving the match 22 otherwise unchanged.
Griquas: 15.Gouws Prinsloo, 14.Nico Scheepers, 13.JP Nel, 12.Howard Mnisi, 11.PJ Vermeulen, 10.Francois Brummer, 9.Jacques Coetzee, 8.Burger Schoeman, 7.Jonathan Adendorff, 6.Carel Greeff, 5.Jaco Negpen, 4.Hilton Lobberts, 3.Lourens Adriaanse, 2.Ryno Barnes (captain), 1.Steph Roberts.
Reserves: 16.Matthew Dobson, 17.Nick Schonert, 18.RJ Liebenberg, 19.Leon Karemaker, 20.Marnus Hugo, 21.Du Randt Gerber, 22.Rocco Jansen

Go die kwasse…. Would really like to see this team do well this year.
@Lassy_lion (Comment 1) : Hope you are right… but I somehow doubt their ability to shine more than once against big unions.
Who knows I might eat my words after this weekend?
@R Hayward (Comment 2) : no, I share your concerns. I don’t see them rolling the Bulls this weekend, but their first home game is going to be a big one.
@robdylan (Comment 3) : After last weekends results… kinda scared to pick Bru predictions!!!
Has Toring’s light gone out?
@McLovin (Comment 5) : it would appear that way 🙂
Or maybe he just got heavy
oh guess what. Griquas’ first home match is against Province 🙂
@robdylan (Comment 7) : Too bad for them. WP by plenty. 😈
@R Hayward (Comment 4) : Well last week I had 0/3 for Superbru so I guess I can just improve
@Lassy_lion (Comment 9) : haha. I had 1/3… and did better than most 🙂
@robdylan (Comment 10) : I got 1 from 3 and yellow cap in 4 pools.
@Lassy_lion (Comment 9) : MY SuperRugby run on Bru was: out of the 70 odd games for the season… I could only get 14 of the 1st game per weekend right!!!
Meaning that whomever I picked for the 1st match per weekend kaked af!
@R Hayward (Comment 12) : I really hope you are backing the Sharks this weekend
@Lassy_lion (Comment 13) : Of course who else??? hence my kak performance in the Superrugby part of Bru!
@R Hayward (Comment 14) : Well I really hope from the bottem of my hart your “kak performance” do continue in Bru.
@Lassy_lion (Comment 15) : Wel if this helps you… I thinkin:
Sharks by 3, Bulls by 5-10, WP Cheethas is tuff!! Draw again?
Come to think of it… my trend on predicting the 1st game is still going strong!!! LAST WEEK I WENT SHARKS BY 15!!!!
@R Hayward (Comment 16) : That is awsome news for me…. Will go with Lions by 3… Thanks 😈
@Pokkel (Comment 11) : 😯 Id better go and check my pools, I got the same as you but cant imagine it would be good enough for the yellow cap.
@Lassy_lion (Comment 17) : Glad to assist!
