Currie Cup team for Cardiff

Given the importance of arriving early for the Challenge Cup final next Friday the coaching team has selected a Currie Cup quality team with a number of rusty players (out of the entire back line only Diego Appollis and Boeta Chamberlain had some limited game time in recent weeks).

Hopefully these guys can give a decent account of themselves, but they do not stand much of a chance to win this game against a settled URC side. This is unfortunately how European rugby works with two major competitions overlapping.
