Junior Bok on DHL WP debut at Loftus

Junior Springbok loose forward Divan Fuller will make his senior DHL Western Province debut in the Carling Currie Cup encounter with the Vodacom Bulls at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.

The 19-year-old flank is joined in the starting line-up by the likes of Wandisile Simelane, Sazi Sandi and Lizo Gqoboka, who all make their return from injury in the North-South clash, which kicks off at 17h15 on Saturday.

The only other change to the starting XV sees Courtnall Skosan slot in on the wing in place of the injured Jared Africa.

Director of Rugby John Dobson said that the players coming in are all expected to make a big difference.

“In Lizo, Sazi, Wandile and Courtnall we have a few experienced heads coming back, which will be vital at Loftus, while we also expect Divan to bring plenty of energy and work-rate.

“This match will be a test of our development so far this season and a great chance for the players selected to get some important game-time against what will be a strong team,” he said.

DHL Western Province: 15 Clayton Blommetjies, 14 Courtnall Skosan, 13 Wandisile Simelane, 12 Jonathan Roche, 11 Angelo Davids, 10 Jurie Matthee, 9 Imad Khan, 8 Willie Engelbrecht (captain), 7 Divan Fuller, 6 Paul de Villiers, 5 Gary Porter, 4 Hendre Stassen, 3 Sazi Sandi, 2 JJ Kotze, 1 Lizo Gqoboka.
Replacements: 16 Scarra Ntubeni, 17 Vernon Matongo, 18 Corne Weilbach, 19 Andre Goedhals, 20 CJ Velleman, 21 Labib Kannemeyer, 22 Damian Markus, 23 Luke Burger.
