Injuries force Dobson to change
Dobson had a number of injury concerns after their 32-62 defeat at the hands of the Golden Lions last week with Chris Cloete, Ruan Botha and Cheslin Kolbe all not available for selection this week, whilst Scarra Ntubeni [calf muscle], Jano Vermaak [groin strain] and Rynhardt Elstadt [quadracep] remain on the injured list and are also unavailable.
Seabello Senatla and Johnny Kotze are nursing slight niggles and are rested this week.
Dillyn Leyds has recovered from a groin strain and wears the No.15 jersey this week in place of Kolbe, while exciting WP Under-21 player Leolin Zass gets a first start on the wing in place of Senatla. Justin Benn and Jaco Taute will feature off the bench this week.
Juan de Jongh will again captain the side in the No.12 jersey.
