TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT: ABSA CURRIE CUP
VODACOM BLUE BULLS VS XEROX GOLDEN LIONS

Xerox Golden Lions head coach Johan Ackermann has named his 22-man outfit, which will face the Vodacom Blue Bulls in Pretoria on Saturday.

Following last week’s 41-22 win over the EP Kings, Ackermann has opted largely for consistency in the Xerox Golden Lions backline.

Andries Coetzee will provide cover at fullback, while Ruan Combrinck will run out at left wing. Jaco van der Walt returns from injury and will start at flyhalf.

In the forwards, Derick Minnie will start at eighthman for this game and will also captain the side. Willie Wepener starts in the hooker berth.

On the bench, Mark Richards could make his Xerox Golden Lions debut should he get a run out.

The match will kick off at 19h10.
