Boks on the bech for WP

Western Province coach Allister Coetzee has left two of his most experienced players on the bench for Saturdays important Currie Cup clash against the Bulls. Ricky Januarie and Schalk Burger will watch the start the match from the wood in the all important match, Schalk Burger was only cleared earlier this week after a long injury that saw him sidelined since the Tri Nations. In another interesting move Coetzee also named an inexperienced centre pairing of Juan de Jongh and Paul Bosch, which could be disastrous seeing that they are facing two Springboks in Wynand Olivier and Jaco Pretorius.
