Griquas vs Western Province Preview

These sides have identical records this season but neither can still make the playoffs. This is for pride and I fancy Griquas to win at home.

Head to Head

Griquas beat Western Province by nine points at home last season.

Griquas Form

This is Griquas final game of the season, so they will want to go out with a bang. It has been a disappointing campaign for the Kimberley side as they are six points off the playoffs and cannot make it anymore.

With just three wins in nine fixtures, Griquas have been quite inconsistent throughout. However, they have been victorious in two of their last three games.

After smashing the Griffons 59-7 away, the Kimberley-based outfit lost 47-24 to the Bulls away from home. Last weekend saw Griquas produce their best performance of the season, beating the defending champions and local rivals, the Cheetahs 44-31 at home.

Griquas Injuries & Team News

Griquas are likely to pick a very similar side to the one from last weekend.

Western Province Form

Western Province, the most successful Currie Cup side in history, is in a similar boat to their opponents. They cannot make the playoffs anymore and are simply playing for pride on Friday.

A disappointing season indeed where only three wins were achieved, two of which came against the Griffons, a side who has conceded 50+ points more often than it has rained in Cape Town this winter.

However, the only other win Province achieved this season was against the Pumas at home and that was last weekend. They won the game 39-30 and looked very good while doing it.

Province should be looking to reward the players who were very good last weekend. They are unlikely to make unforced changes.

Verdict

Griquas v Western Province

Griquas are backed to end their season on a high with a victory over Western Province.
