The Toyota Free State u/20 had a bye last weekend and travel to Gqeberha to play a struggling Eastern Province u/20 today @ 12h00 at the Adcock Stadium.
Eastern Province was completely dominated by an excellent Lions u/20 side last weekend. Although the game was stopped at the halftime break they still lost 42-00.
It is unfortunate that one can write off a team as early as the second round, however, Eastern Province and their efforts on and off the field does not do anything to promote either development or performance.
Only one change was made to the Eastern Province u/20 team. A Nyandoro is promoted from the bench to start at loosehead replacing S King that drops out of the matchday 23.
