Centre Damian Markus comes in for DHL Western Province U21 for their encounter with Fidelity ADT Lions U21 at City Park on Friday at 14:00 (SA Time).
There are five changes to the DHL Western Province U21 starting line-up for the clash with the table-topping visitors.
Markus will link up with Joshua Boulle in midfield, with Ulrich Wahl at fullback, a fit-again Jared Africa on the wing and Compion von Ludwig at flyhalf in the other changes to the backline.
The only change to the forward pack sees Patric Kitete make his return in the second row.
Head Coach Johno van der Walt said that he is expecting the players coming in to make a difference for his team on Friday.
“All four of the players coming in featured for us last season, so we are looking forward to seeing what they can add.
“We are back at home and will need to be at our best to get the result against an impressive Fidelity ADT Lions U21 side who we played in the final at the same venue last season,” he said.
