Riaan van Strarten - Gearing for a tough game against the Griffons

Loading player...
The Leopards are gearing up for a tough clash on Saturday when they take on the Griffons in Welkom in round three of the SA Cup.
The side from Potchefstroom is still searching for its first win of the season. While they went down 64–7 to the Toyota Cheetahs at home last week, there were encouraging signs - particularly a much-improved defensive effort in the second half.
Leopards coach Riaan van Straten told OFM Sport that the focus remains firmly on refining their systems and delivering a full 80-minute performance against the Purple People Eaters.
