Coach Hawies Fourie has made five changes to the Boland Cavaliers starting line-up for Saturday’s Currie Cup match against the Sharks in Pietermaritzburg.

The Cavaliers head into the clash with enforced and rotational changes after last week’s win over the Pumas in Nelspruit.

Flyhalf Ashlon Davids is sidelined after suffering a knee injury, paving the way for Juan Mostert to start in the No 10 jersey.

Out wide, there is good news as Donovan Don – the competition’s leading try-scorer with seven tries in four matches – returns from a knee injury to reclaim the right wing spot. He replaces Marcqwien Titus, while Domenic Smit has been named among the replacements.

Erik Lambrecht is rewarded for his impact against the Pumas with a start at outside centre, meaning David Brits moves to the bench.

Among the forwards, Sauliegh Arendse comes into the loose trio, with Khwezi Mafu shifting to the bench.

Sidney Tobias is back at hooker after being rested, with HP van Schoor providing cover.

Saturday’s match at Woodburn Stadium will kick off at 5.10pm.
