Pieter Bergh - Currie Cup opener against the Stormers

The defending champions, the Suzuki Griquas, have opted for experience as they begin the defence of their Currie Cup title against the Stormers in Cape Town on Friday night. There were few surprises when coach Pieter Bergh named his matchday 23, although three players are set to make their Currie Cup debuts for the Peacock Blues. Coach Pieter Bergh told OFM Sport that selecting the squad was no easy task, with several players forcing their way into contention through strong performances during the Toyota Challenge and the recent friendly against Boland.
