The battle between first and third on the log kicks off at 12pm and tickets start from R65 only via Ticketpro
Hayden Groepes has tweaked his forwards pack, shifting vice-captain Anathi Qolo to loose forward and bringing Dineo Ndhlovu to lock alongside Ziyanda Ngohlekana. Qolo pairs up with Sizophila Solontsi, with Sophy Mashapa running out at No 8. At the front, props Yonela Ngxingolo and Xolelwa Diliza will flank hooker Micke Gunter.
Unam Tose and Byrhandre Dolf combine again at halfback. Behind them are the fast-moving Ayanda Malinga and Patience Mokone, who will run at left and right wing, respectively. In between the speedsters, Springbok duo Zintle Mpupha and Jakkie Cilliers combine at inside and outside centre with Libbie Janse van Rensburg at fullback. Janse van Rensburg will also captain the two-time champions for the round.
The five-three split impact squad features forwards Karabo Lebotsa, Doreen Mkhabele, Sanelisiwe Charlie, Busisiwe Crafford, Faith Tshauke and backline players Camelitha Malone, Zintle Nonkasana and Springbok winger Maria Tshiremba.
