The Leopards will be looking to build on their impressive 27-15 victory over the Pumas last week when they travel to Kimberley to take on the Griquas in their Currie Cup clash on Friday night.
After shooting up to the dizzying heights of sixth place on the Currie Cup standings this week the Potchefstroom-based team will have their work cut out for them against the Griquas who managed to beat the defending champion Sharks at GWK Park last week.
There are a few changes to the Leopards team with Cleyton Durand moving off the bench and replacing George Tossel at fullback, while Tossel shifts out to the right wing.
In the forward pack Christo van Niekerk takes his place in the starting line-up at lock where he replaces Roelof van Heerden who moves to the bench.
Leopards: 15 Clayton Durand, 14 George Tossel, 13 Charl Weideman, 12 Joubert Engelbrecht, 11 Vainon Willis, 10 Wesley Dunlop, 9 Whestley Moolman, 8 Morne Hanekom (captain), 7 Luvuyiso Lusaseni, 6 Philip De Wet, 5 Christo Van Niekerk, 4 Brendon Snyman, 3 Stephan Bezuidenhout, 2 Gavin Williamson, 1 BG Uys.
