Plum has been able to select a very strong team for the URC quarter final on Saturday. The only two first choice players unavailable due to injury is Grant Williams and Siya Masuku (who in my opinion should be the first choice half backs if available).
(more…)Ox will be back to face the Scarlets on Saturday, while Emile van Heerden comes back at lock along with Eben Etzebeth (who recovered from the knock on his knee). James Venter and Siya Kolisi both gets a break while Tino Mavesere comes into the team. Phepsi moves back to his favourite position at the back of the scrum. Nick Hatton comes onto the bench.
(more…)Eben Etzebeth is back to lead a pretty strong team for the Ospreys. Interestingly Dian Bleuler replaces Ox Nche (ill this week) in the starting team. Siya Masuku will start at 10 this week with Jordan Hendrikse dropping out completely.
Bad news is that Grant Williams is still being troubled by his neck injury and will be out for at least another two to three weeks.
