CAPE TOWN – Head coach Sean Everitt has gone with only two changes to his team ahead of their Currie Cup semifinal clash with the Griquas on Saturday in Durban.
Amongst the forwards, Dylan Richardson returns for James Venter on the side of the scrum and in the backline, the experienced Marius Louw takes over from Murray Koster at inside centre.
Veteran Lionel Cronje remains at flyhalf, with Curwin Bosch starting at fullback once again.

Kick-off on Saturday is at 17:00.
