Vodacom WP captain Puke Watson is, as was expected, back to lead his side in the Absa Currie Cup match against the Lions at Newlands on Saturday.
WP head coach Allister Coetzee on Wednesday announced his team for the game that start at 17:05.
In two curtain raisers to the main match, the Vodacom WP u19 team take on their Lions counterparts at 13h10, and the u21´s do battle at 14h40.
Lock Anton van Zyl is back in the starting line-up after missing last Saturday’s victory over the Boland Cavaliers in Wellington. He takes over from All Black veteran Chris Jack and will be forming a second-row partnershiop with Adriaan Fondse, who made his return last weekend after a long lay-off due to injury.
Jack is on the substitutes’ bench. Watson is back in place of Pieter Louw, who played at No 8 after the former had to withdraw on Friday night because of a bout of the ‘flu. He also takes over the captaincy from Tiaan Liebenberg.
Liebenberg has been declared fit after missing Monday’s training session due to a few bumps and bruises he picked up against Boland. Ditto for prop Wicus Blaauw, who suffered a rib injury against Boland.
Scrumhalf Bolla Conradie loses his place on the bench to Conrad Hoffmann.
The Vodacom WP team is as follows:
15. Joe Pietersen
14. Tonderai Chavhanga
13. Juan De Jongh
12. Morgan Newman
11. Gio Aplon
10. Peter Grant
9. Dewaldt Duvenage

@carol – That won’t help these guys. She’s a fervent supporter of the ABs like me. One of her redeeming qualities. 🙂
Ek wonder of Jake so braaf gaan wees om weer vir Earl ‘n kans te gee.
26@carol –
Modesty is one of my strongpoints with leadership, positivity, friendliness, humility, patience, wise etc. 😆
@Supa Die Bloubul – 28
Ja, as die Lions wen sal ek die eerste een wees wat omverskoning sal vra vir my slegte gedrag teenoor die Lion supporters. Sal sommer my nic verander na JannieWanGedrag toe..
Praat weer more. A-team het nou net begin.
You suckerfooool!!
hehehe
@KingPaul –
Ek sien nog hoe maak Earl die winning kick. Jou reaksie behoort priceless te wees!
@Ed_the_Lion – I can honestly say I owe a great debt of gratitude to AB I think it was who introduced me to a translation page!!
My blog lessons had ground to a halt rather!!
Sheriff is asking me on Keo if GBS will ever come back to Keo and if he is banned!! I thought he mailed GBS a lot, how does he not know, or is he wanting me to spill the beans on Keo? 🙂
@JimT – With all the stuff going on in SA, I might become a All Black supporter pretty soon. Actually had a look at some jerseys today.
@Supa Die Bloubul – Any more attributes you wish to list, surely you have missed some?? 🙂
@carol – Sheriff is not well Carol, and I think it is safe to say no and no.
@JimT – Jim, she may write an All Black piece for rugby talk!!
38@carol –
I only mentioned about 20%, but Im not the type that goes on bragging about it 😉
Just kidding C – Im the lucky one! She is beautiful!
Im out for now. Going to play some cards with the wife.
Cheers all…
@Ed_the_Lion – Ed, be strong, you do not need to go down the All Black route!! It wil be a mistake!!
Sorry the hear that about Sheriff!! 😯
@carol – hehehehe, Carol, just joking. I will support the NZ teams against the Bulls from now on. People want to treat my team like shit, we can all play that game.
Cheers for now.
@Ed_the_Lion – 37 Ed, you have floored me. Thought this would never happen. You’ve been drinking too much Sam Adams up there in Boston 🙂
@Supa Die Bloubul – Ahhhh….Is that what they call it these days!! Hahahaha 😉
Have a nice evening.
@Ed_the_Lion – Oh yeah, any team that plays against the bulls I will support.
@JimT – Nothing JimT. Actually training very hard at the moment. No Alcohol for a few weeks.
@Supa Die Bloubul – 33 Just an all round Saint. When do you expect to be canonised, before or after your passing? 🙂
@carol – Careful, it’s a plot. Watch the lawman 🙂
@Ed_the_Lion – Nooo Ed, they just like to tease you.
We have to have our resident Lions man here lets face it we don’t have one Cheetah fan do we?
Have a great day xx
@carol – 40 carol, she will have to consult me first 🙂
@Ed_the_Lion – No alcohol for a few WEEKS !! 😯
@carol – Koos is a Cheetah. I will always be a Lion Carol!!!
@carol – Doing 10 x 400’s twice a week now, with one minute rest in between. Very tough!!!
Really have to go now. Bye Bye.
@carol – 42 Carol, you have just fallen in my estimation. Knew it was too good to be true 🙁
@JimT – Jim, I expect GBS would like your perspective of an Englishman, in America supporting the All Blacks you have to admit it is ‘different’!!!
@Ed_the_Lion – 43 Ed, well it’s a start we’ll work on the rest of your conversion 🙂
@Ed_the_Lion – 10 x 400 whats she wonders?
Glad we have balance here LOADS of Bulls fans one Lion and one cheetah!! As I say balance!! 😉
See ya
@Ed_the_Lion – 47 Ed, good for you, what you training for? I’ve been watching track/field world championships today Those athletes by & large are the beautiful people. See what hard training can do for you?
