PUBLISHED: September 13, 2018


DHL Western Province U19 captain Francke Horn is back for the clash with Xerox Golden Lions U19 at Emirates Airline Park on Saturday.

The skipper and No.8 returns from injury in one of six changes to the DHL Western Province U19 team for the game in Johannesburg, which kicks off at 10h30 on Saturday.

The only other change to the forward pack sees Chris Rossouw start at hooker, with Ru-Hann Greyling among the replacements.

In the backline a fit-again Christian Ambadiang is on the right wing, with David Kriel shifting to the left wing and Rikus Pretorius at outside centre, while David Coetzer starts at flyhalf.

DHL Western Province U19 Head Coach Nazeem Adams said that his team is determined to put in a big shift at Emirates Airline Park on Saturday.

“The players have really put in a lot of hard work this week in preparation for this trip, so we are keen to see the results of that on Saturday.

“It is always tough to play the Xerox Golden Lions U19 away from home, so we will need to get all the detail right up there,” he said.
