Shuffle and Rumble in Boland: Mostert Slides into Flyhalf, Don Zooms Back to the Wing
It's musical chairs over in the Boland Cavaliers' camp as Coach Hawies Fourie, in a bold move, has tinkered with his starting XV for the upcoming Currie Cup clash against the Sharks this Saturday. The Cavaliers, riding high after last week’s triumph over the Pumas, are looking to keep the momentum in Pietermaritzburg, albeit with a few forced and tactical changes.
The most notable switch comes at flyhalf, where Juan Mostert will be donning the No. 10 jersey, stepping in for the injured Ashlon Davids. "Losing Ashlon was a blow, but Juan's got the skills to fill those boots," remarked Fourie, showing confidence in his new playmaker.

On the wings, speedster Donovan Don makes a welcome return from injury, ready to add to his impressive tally of seven tries. His comeback is timely, adding firepower as he replaces Marcqwien Titus on the right. Meanwhile, Erik Lambrecht earns his stripes at outside centre after last week's impactful performance, pushing David Brits to a bench role.
The forward pack sees Sauliegh Arendse joining the fray in the loose trio, with Khwezi Mafu taking a breather this round. Sidney Tobias, rested last game, is back as the hooker, ensuring the scrum is as formidable as ever.
With a 5.10 pm kickoff at the scenic Woodburn Stadium, the stage is set for what promises to be a riveting encounter. Both teams are eager to showcase their strategies and depth, making this a must-watch for rugby enthusiasts.
