Riaan van Straten - Currie Cup First Division opener against the Border Bulldogs

--:--
The Leopards are targeting a strong start to the Currie Cup First Division, which kicks off this weekend.
The team from Potchefstroom endured a tough SA Cup campaign, which ultimately led to a coaching change at the union.
On Saturday, the Leopards will face the Border Bulldogs at home in their opening match of the competition – a side they narrowly beat earlier this year.
Riaan van Straten, who has taken over the reins as coach, told OFM Sport that they have a lot to prove.
