BAATJIES OUT TO SPOIL NAKA’S PARTY
Leading scorer a danger man Grizzlies will put to good use
A Pearson High Old Boy and former Eastern Province u18 Craven Week fly-half will take centre stage this Saturday in the 2025 Castle Carlton Cup Grand Final at Naka Bulls Park.
And for an appropriate reason, as Rodwill Baatjies is not only the leading scorer, but also one of the Tuine Grizzlies’ biggest trump cards in their quest to claim the BBRU’s premier championship title for a historic first time.
More than just a deadly boot, Baatjies is a proven finisher with a nose for the tryline. For the Grizzlies to dethrone the back-to-back champion Naka Bulls, he must deliver a masterclass—racking up points, igniting his outside backs, and ruling the skies in the aerial contest.
To tactically outsmart Naka, Baatjies will need a steady supply of front‑foot possession—making the contribution of his forward pack absolutely crucial.
