from OFM Sport · host Morgan Piek
The Suzuki Griquas forwards coach, Franco van der Merwe, has called for a dominant display upfront when they face the Pumas in Kimberley on Saturday in the SA Cup final.

The Griquas, meanwhile, are renowned for their fearless approach, and they will relish the challenge awaiting them - particularly in the set-piece battle, where the scrums and lineouts are expected to play a decisive role in the contest. Van der Merwe told OFM Sport that the Griquas need to be rock-solid in the set pieces, especially with the intensity and pressure that comes with a final.
