| Blue Bulls Vs. Griquas |
Blue Bulls are going to host the Griquas for the last match of round robin stage of the Currie Cup 2015. This game is very important for the host as the spot in the semi-final of the competition is on the line. Right now they have a lead of two points over Cheetahs who are at the fifth place. Cheetahs will be playing against the Lions earlier on that day. If they win the match then for the Bulls it will be a mist win match if they want to make it to the play-offs. If Griquas can win the match which may seem unlikely right now will place them in the sixth position.
Talking about the teams and Bjorn Basson of the Springboks has been recalled by Ludeke and Piet van Zyl will be with him on his side in the match. JJ Engelbrecht is going to remain unavailable due to his commitments for Springbok and William Small-Smith will start for him. Fly-half has returned for the team but he was named as a bench player but Ludeke has ensured that he will be on the field at some time of the match. Bongi Mbonambi will be the number two jumper and Morne Mellett will start as the loosehead. They will be replacing Dean Greyling & Callie Visagie.
The squad of the Griquas is troubled by injuries greatly as some of their most influential palyers are out of the squads including third captain. Wayne Stevens, flanker Carel Greeff, locks Hilton Lobberts, prop Steph Roberts prop Janro van Niekerk & lock Boela Serfontein are out of team due to various injuries. All these have forced Hawies Fourie, the coach of Griquas to make lots of changes in the team. Simon Westraadt will start as prop instead of regular hooker. Similarly Jonathan Adendorf will be featured in the back and PJ Vermeulen will be moved to the center. Francois Brummer is going to lead Griquas in the next match of Currie Cup 2015.
Prediction: the Bulls have too much firepower and the disjointed side of Griquas will not be able cope up with it. Bulls are the favorite to win the match by 12 points.
