PUMAS skipper Chaka Willemse has been left out of the side that will meet Griquas in a Vodacom Cup match this in Witbank on Saturday. Willemse has found himself without even a place on the bench as Matt Frank has returned from Super 12 duty with the Northern Bulls and Marco Wentzel has been chosen as reserve loose-forward. Natal centre Geoff Appleford will skipper the side, with eightman Russel Nelson, also back from the Super 12, appointed as vice-captain.
Pumas:
Kallie Benadie; Henry Pedro, Riaan Potgieter, Geoff Appleford (capt), Gavin Passens; Jorrie Kruger, Jason de Kock; Russel Nelson, Ryan Jacobs, Charl Els, Sarel Eloff, Matt Frank, Sias Wagner, Henry Kemp, Japie Barnard.
