Paul Anthony has kept faith in his Sharks under 19 side that narrowly went down to Western Province in last week’s tournament opener, making just one change ahead of Friday’s game against the Blue Bulls.
Rowan Coetzer, a former lock from KES in Johannesburg who is now playing in the back row, takes over from Porties old boy Ruan Smook at number 8 in the only change to the starting line up. Smook will play off a bench that contains a number of new faces this week.
Cameron MacNab replaces Armand Grobler as loose forward replacement, while Willem Badenhorst, in jersey 21, will provide scrumhalf cover ahead of Gervin Rossouw.
The game kicks off at Loftus at 1pm on Friday afternoon.
Sharks under 19:
15 Morne Joubert, 14 S’busiso Nkosi, 13 Tristan Blewett, 12 Wayno Visagie, 11 Chris Lines, 10 Tristan Tedder, 9 Jaywinn Juries, 8 Rowan Coetzer, 7 Bernardus Haring, 6 Mike Meyer (capt), 5 Christie van der Merwe, 4 Rikus Zwart, 3 Kabelo Motloung, 2 Bradley Roberts, 1 Wentzel Vorster.
Subs: 16 Ulric Sellar, 17 Marq-Anthony Lombard, 18 Johnathan Vorster, 19 Ruan Smook, 20 Cameron MacNab, 21 Willem Badenhorst, 22 Stephan Nel, 23 Brent Christoffels
