Ben-Jason Dixon will start at flank in the only change to the starting line-up for DHL Western Province U21 against Cell C Sharks U21 at DHL Newlands on Saturday.
Dixon comes into the side having recovered from illness for the clash with the Durban side which will kick off at 17h00 on Saturday as a curtain-raiser for the Currie Cup encounter between DHL Western Province and Tafel Lager Griquas.
