Pieter Bergh - Improvement needs to be shown on the road

Loading player...
The Suzuki Griquas are one win away from securing a home semi-final in the Currie Cup, but that is far from a given for the defending champions, who will have to rediscover their best form on the road, starting this week in Nelspruit.
On Friday, the Peacock Blues secured an important 55-21 win over the Sharks in Kimberley, although their first-half performance left plenty to be desired. It took a try on the stroke of half-time at the Suzuki Stadium to put the Griquas in front 26-21.
In the second stanza, a hat-trick of tries from replacement hooker Tiaan Lange helped the team from the Diamond City secure the invaluable bonus point and move to 21 points with two rounds remaining.
Griquas coach Pieter Bergh told OFM Sport that his side simply has to be better than it was against the Sharks last week.
