Rossouw at fullback for Vodacom Blue Bulls against Griffons
Divan Rossouw will start at fullback when the Vodacom Blue Bulls take on the Down Touch Griffons in a Currie Cup qualifier match in Welkom on Saturday.
Rossouw started on the wing last week, but comes in for Warrick Gelant, with Kefentse Mahlo moving from the bench to replace Rossouw.
The Blue Bulls are not having a great season and with the Griffons firing on all cylinders, a tough afternoon lies ahead at the HT Pelatona Projects Stadium.
In other changes, coach Hendré Marnitz named Marquit September in the midfield to partner Dan Kriel and Ruan Steenkamp will take over from Renaldo Bothma, who is on international duty. Abongile Nonkontwana will also start at lock and Entienne Swanepoel will replace Werner Kruger.
The team is: Divan Rossouw, Kefentse Mahlo, Marquit September, Dan Kriel, Jade Stighling, Joshua Stander, Ivan van Zyl, Hanro Liebenberg (c), Ruan Steenkamp, Roelof Smit, Marvin Orie, Abongile Nonkontwana, Entienne Swanepoel, Corniel Els, Nqobisizwe Mxoli. Replacements: Jan van der Merwe, Andrew Beerwinkel, Ruben van Heerden, Clyde Davids, Andre Warner, Kurt Webster, Alcino Isaacs.
Kick-off is at 15h00
