Golden Lions make four changes for Griquas

Golden Lions head coach Johan Ackermann has named his 22-man Currie Cup side to take on the Griquas in Kimberley on Saturday afternoon.

In the forwards, prop Jacques van Rooyen and flank Warwick Tecklenburg will both start the match after moving up from the replacements bench.

Meanwhile, in the backline, Ross Cronje will start at scrumhalf and Howard Mnisi will come in at inside centre.

Marnitz Boshoff has recovered from his injury and will look to make an appearance off the replacements bench this weekend.
