This is a fixture Province should be looking to win comfortably. I expect them to use the opportunity to rest a few players as well.

They began the campaign with an 82-20 defeat to the Cheetahs before losing 52-10 at home to the Bulls. They then went down 64-15 at home to Western Province.

Last week the Griffons were far better, losing 47-45 against the Cheetahs at home. While the visitors did rest a lot of players, the Griffons were far better in their execution, although defensively they have were poor once again.
