Lock Simon Miller returns for DHL Western Province U20 in one of six changes to the starting line-up to face Vodacom Bulls U20 at Newlands today @ 12h00.
Miller joins captain Dylan de Leeuw in the second row for the North-South clash, which kicks off at 12h00 on Friday at Newlands.
There is also a new-look front row, with Rhynardt Rijnsburger back at loosehead prop, Keagan Blanckenberg at hooker and Corne Weilbacch starting at tighthead.
There are two changes to the backline, with centre Ethan James and wing Ebenezer Tshimanga both making their first starts of the campaign.
DHL Western Province U20 Head Coach Jerome Paarwater said that his team understands the magnitude of the challenge they are facing.
“The Vodacom Bulls U20 are on top of the standings, so we know that we will have to be at our best to get another win.
“Last week we performed well away from home to score 11 tries, but we will need to be switched on for 80 minutes at Newlands if we want to back that up with another win,” he said.
