Kings team unchanged for big one against Bulls

The EP Kings have named an unchanged starting line-up for the Absa Provincial Championship U19 rugby final against the Blue Bulls in Johannesburg on Saturday (October 24).

The only change to the squad comes on the bench where scrumhalf Sibusiso Ngcokovane returns among the replacements in place of Davron Cameron. Ngcokovane was a late withdrawal from last week’s squad for the semifinal against Free State.

The Kings registered their third win of the season over the Free Staters at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Friday (October 16), winning 31-15 to qualify for the final. They will face the Blue Bulls at Emirates Airline Park, with the match kicking off at 09.30.

The match will be televised live on SuperSport 2, as will the U21 final between Western Province and the Cheetahs, starting at 11.15.

The matches will be the curtain-raisers for the senior Currie Cup final between the Lions and Western Province (13.45 on SuperSport 1).

The EP U19 squad is (15-1): Keanu Vers, Mabhutana Peter, Yamkela Nyalambisa, Jeremy Ward (captain), Athi Mayinje, Michael Brink, James Hall, Junior Pokomela, Hayden Tharratt, SF Nieuwoudt, Lusanda Badiyana, Robert Lyons, Nicolaas Oosthuizen, Thango Balekile, Greg Jackson.
Replacements (16-23): Masikane Mazwi, Xandre Vos,  Matthew Howes, Wihan Coetzer, Xholisa Matshoba, Sibusiso Ngcokovane, Garrick Mattheus, Dominik Uytenbogaardt.
