Team news
Stefan Ungerer and George Whitehead, two of Grimquas’ experienced halfbacks, will be absent, however. The halfback pairing of Theo Boshoff and Raegan Oranje are however only two of four changes made to the side.
Griquas have played two away games, as a result this will be the first home outing for the Kimberley outfit.
The Pumas however have announced just one tweak from the team that dismantled the Lions in their previous outing two weeks ago.
Jade Stighling started in the centre last time out though this time he takes the No 11 jersey in a rotational switch with Lundi Msenge. Matches between these two sides are usually close-fought affairs, borne out when the teams played to a 13-13 draw and a four-point win for the Lowvelders in their 2021 fixtures.
