Southern Kings coach Deon Davids named his team today for their Super Rugby encounter against the Sunwolves in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.
Saturday’s game is probably the only chance that these two bottom of the log teams will get to win a game in Super Rugby. Davids and Captain Steven Sykes are betting on a home crowd to carry them through to getting some vital points to lift them above the Sunwolves and give the team a vital boost.
Davids has made two changes to his starting XV from the one which went down 42-20 to the Hurricanes in Wellington last weekend.
In the backline, Siyanda Grey starts at right wing in place of Luzuko Vulindlu, who is out with concussion.
Up front, Aidon Davis replaces Jacques Engelbrecht at No 8.
Saturday’s clash at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium is scheduled for 17:05.
