6 Changes Ahead of Final Clash

There are six changes to the DHL Western Province starting line-up for the coastal Currie Cup clash against the Cell C Sharks at DHL Stadium on Saturday.

Head Coach John Dobson has made three changes to the backline and three in the forward pack for the final match of the regular season, which kicks off at 17h05 on Saturday.

Hooker Andre-Hugo Venter, lock Ruben van Heerden and flank Willie Engelbrecht all come into the starting line-up, having featured among the replacements last week.

In the backline Godlen Masimla is at scrumhalf, while centre Cornel Smit and wing Mnombo Zwelendaba will also start at DHL Stadium.

Dobson said that his team want to show what playing in the blue and white hooped jersey means to them.

“There is a lot of pride in this group in who and what we play for and we want to show that in our performance on Saturday.

“It will take a big effort from every player against a strong Cell C Sharks team, but our focus is on showing our loyal supporters what it means to us to represent them,” he said.
