Bok discards bolster WP team

Published 24 August 2010 | By KingPaul

The return of Springboks Gio Aplon and Francois Louw will help bolster a Western Province side that will attempt to return to winning ways when they clash with the Cheetahs in a Currie Cup match at Newlands on Friday evening.

Without their Springboks last week, Province were a pale shadow of the side that managed an unbeaten run of six matches and were soundly defeated by the Sharks in Durban.

However, while Schalk Burger, Bryan Habana, Juan de Jongh and Jaque Fourie are still duty bound with the Boks, the presence of Aplon and Louw will help the side to raise their game.

Province coach Allister Coetzee again reverted to a five forwards on the bench after he went for the conventional four forwards/ three backs split last week.

As a result Province have a full front at hand on the bench.

The team is as follows:

15. Conrad Jantjes
14. Gio Aplon
13. Tim Whitehead
12. Paul Bosch
11. Frikkie Welsh
10. Willem de Waal
9. Dewaldt Duvenage
8. Duane Vermeulen
7. Nick Koster
6. Francois Louw
5. Anton van Zyl (Captain)
4. Adriaan Fondse
3. Brok Harris
2. Tiaan Liebenberg
1. Wicus Blaauw

Reserves:
16. Deon Fourie
17. Buhle Mxunyelwa
18. JD Moller
19. De Kock Steenkamp
20. Pieter Myburgh
21. Conrad Hoffmann
22. Lionel Cronje

    Jou ou GrapGat!! hehehe
    Nee wat, ek was bekommerd oor Pieter L se besering, maar met Flo terug gaan die WP een te veel vir die Cheetahs wees. Flo en Koster gaan die Cheetah flanke moeg hardloop!!
    Ek voorspel ‘n bonuspuntwen.

    @ Blouste:
    Blouste, jy klink nou soos daai ou wat vir die dominee se hy drink nie, rook nie and vloek nie.

    Toe hy omdraai en wegloop, mompel hy “nou waar de vlok het ek my pyp vergeet, O ja in die kroeg.”
