The Eastern Province rugby side will be in Grahamstown next Wednesday when they face Border in a friendly pre-season rugby encounter.
The match is scheduled to take place at Miki Yili Stadium starting at 4pm. Debbie Ellis, administration and team operations manager at EP Rugby, said a number of new players have been included in the side as the team management are keen to check out various combinations before the start of the season.
EP Rugby requested that the friendly takes place in Grahamstown, due to their good relationship with Makana Municipality, as well as bringing some first class rugby to Grahamstown.
Ellis said its also a way of showing that EP Rugby is not just Port Elizabeth-based but for the whole province. Ellis said it is hoped that the team will conduct a coaching clinic at the stadium before the match takes place.
The final programme is scheduled to be drawn up today. The match is scheduled to start at 4pm and entry to the stadium is free.
