GWK Griquas take on South Western Districts Eagles in George tomorrow, as their final preparation tour match before the start of the 2009 Vodacom Cup on February 27. Although the team has been on the road during the last week, playing and hammering the Griffons in Douglas last Saturday by 74-10, later in the week, on Tuesday against the Mighty Elephants in Port Elizabeth, a handsome victory by 41-13, coach Dawie Theron expects this encounter to be the toughest. The selection below could be Theron’s  strongest, as all the players have had a chance to prove themselves. While the players on the bench are also very talented, Theron will probably have a hard time with his selections for the upcoming Vodacom Cup, barring any injuries that might appear.

The Griquas selection for the match against SWD Eagles is (15-1): Herman Pretorius, Egon Seconds, Richard Lawson, Siviwe Magaba, Gavin Passens, Naas Olivier, Dougie Helmuth, Jonathan Mokuena (c), Devon Raubenheimer, Rohan Kitshoff, Brendon Snyman, , Jacques Lombaard, Albertus Buckle, Simon Westraadt, Steph Roberts. Replacements: Freddy van Staden, Andries Kruger, Cecil Kemp, Sean Plaatjies, Danny Theron, Willmaure Louw, Dewald Pretorius and Thabang Molefe.
