WP to make big changes v Sharks

GAME TIME: Dawie Snyman
Western Province are still in with a shot of making it to the Currie Cup semifinals despite going down 42-24 to the Lions this past weekend.
Province, sixth on the Currie Cup log with 14 points, tackle the fourth-placed Sharks (21 points) at Cape Town Stadium this weekend and need a bonus-point win to close the gap on the Durbanites and the fifth-placed Pumas (19 points).
And after they tasted their fifth Currie Cup defeat while only being able to win twice – both times against the Griffons – WP backline coach Dawie Snyman says big changes to the team can be expected for Saturday’s 3pm clash.
Snyman says of this weekend’s challenge: “We’re back at home, and it’s again part of the process of preparing several of the players for the [Stormers team’s] United Rugby Championship [campaign].
“We’ll make a few changes and give a few players more game time.”
