Major changes for WP
Joey Mongalo has pretty much rested the bulk of his players used over the last couple of games, and introduced a couple of URC players plus a few others who have not featured recently.
Some really strange selections here – Phepsi Buthelezi at 7 and Thembelani Bholi at 6, Marnus Potgieter at 12 and Rohan Janse van Rensburg at 13. I can see that resting forwards like Reniel Hugo before the semi-final makes sense but the entire back line (who already struggle to play as a cohesive unit) has been replaced.
I assume the decision has been made to rest the bulk of the players who will start in the semi-final. I really hope this does not bite the Sharks in the butt (by dropping to second on the log / losing winning momentum going into the semi-final).
