Boland Bolster Pack for Pumas Trip With Semi-Final Step in Sight

Pumas pose a familiar hurdle after two earlier wins, powered by Danrich Visagie's tournament-leading boot.

Overview

  • Friday's Currie Cup round-five match in Mbombela kicks off at 5pm, with a Boland win set to all but seal a semi-final berth.
  • Boland are second on 16 points after home wins over the Cheetahs, Lions and Bulls, with their only loss coming at Griquas.
  • Coach Hawies Fourie makes five changes up front as Wayrin Losper and Dayan van der Westhuizen return at prop and HP van Schoor starts at hooker, with Llewellyn Claasen covering from the bench.
  • James Tedder returns at fullback from a back injury, try leader Donovan Don is sidelined, and Marcqwien Titus comes in on the right wing.
  • The hosts have beaten Griquas in Kimberley and the Bulls in Pretoria but fell to the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein and the Lions in Nelspruit.
