The competition for starting berths for the 2014 Super 15 is hotting up. It is reported that coach Naka Drotské has selected Caylib Oosthuizen to start in the loosehead position ahead of Bok Trevor Nyakane, based on form shown in the prior warm-up matches played.

According to reports the team selected for their last warm up match versus the Currie Cup 1st Division Champions of 2013, Steval Pumas, will be as close as possible to the side that the coaches would want to run out in the opening fixture of the 2014 Super Rugby tournament, versus the Lions on 15 February 2014.

The match will also see a venue change and will now take place at the Old Greys Sports Grounds in Bloemfontein and not at the Fezile Dabi Stadium in Parys.
