In 2007, Western Provinces merged with Boland to become the Cape Cobras, who then released Friend on 12 July 2007 to join the Dolphins.[6] He led them to victory against the Titans on 22 October 2007,[7] however eight days later was suspended for one match along with Titans' Martin van Jaarsveld for verbal abuse.[8]
