This gives Jean Droste a starting berth, with Bobby de Wee coming in on the bench.

Kobus Marais en Daniel Kriel versterk Onder-19 geledere

Die Vodacom Blou Bulle Onder-19 span wat Vrydag op Loftus Versfeld teen die Toyota Vrystaat speel, verwelkom sy groot puntemaker, Kobus Marais, en buitesenter Daniel Kriel, terug vir die kragmeting.

Marais het verlede week by die Onder-21’s diens gedoen en Kriel het herstel van ‘n besering.

Kriel speel in Leighton van Wyk se plek, wat bank toe skuif en met Marais terug, skuif JP Smith na sy gereelde plek op skrumskakel. Die twee veranderinge is die mees insiggewendste, hoewel afrigter Paul Anthony ook aan sy lostrio, slotpaar en agterste driehoek verander het as deel van ‘n rotasiebeleid.

Die gereelde agtsteman, Corne Cooper en die slot Nico Janse van Rensburg kry ruskans en dit gee Carel Swart en Jean Droste ‘n kans om ‘n wedstryd te begin. Bobby de Wee is weer fiks en as plaasvervanger-slot gekies, terwyl Riekert Hattingh sy eerste verskyning in die kompetisie sal maak as plaasvervanger-losvoorspeler.

Die Vodacom Blou Bulle Onder-19 span wat om 15h15 teen Vrystaat speel, is: Ganfried May, Marcus Kleinbooi, Daniel Kriel, Rohan Janse van Rensburg, Keagon Gordon, Kobus Marais, JP Smith (o/k), Carel Swart, Chris Massyn, Heinrich Viljoen, Jean Droste, Justin Basson, Wilco Louw, Corniel Els, Pierre Schoeman (k). Plaasvervangers: Arno van Wyk, Nqoba Mxoli, Bobby de Wee, Riekert Hattingh, Cameron Anthony, Leighton van Wyk, HG de Klerk, Johann Bannink.
