Captain Salmaan Moerat returns for DHL Western Province U19 in their encounter with Xerox Golden Lions U19 at Emirates Airline Park on Saturday.

Moerat missed the victory against Toyota Free State U19 at Brookside last week with concussion, but is back in the team for the match against the table-topping Xerox Golden Lions U19 which kicks off at 10h00 on Saturday.

The only other changes to the starting line-up see Wian van Zyl get an opportunity at flyhalf, while Charl Serdyn is at flank in place of the injured Gift Dlamini.

DHL Western Province U19 coach Nazeem Adams said that his team will have to work hard to continue the winning start they have made to their campaign.

“We know that we face a serious test up in Johannesburg this weekend, which is something that the players are looking forward to.

“There are still many areas in which we can improve, so the focus is on raising our performance to another level,” he said.
