In his stead, <strong>Kuhle Shitlhangu<\/strong> will have an opportunity to impress the Jeppe coaches.<\/p>\n<p>The visitors&#8217; <strong>Tyler Mason<\/strong> will look forward to an enticing battle with his opposite number, <strong>Phano Letsie<\/strong>, at inside centre. <strong>Aldo Serfontein<\/strong>, the Cherries&#8217; nippy scrumhalf will be eager to test the Jeppe defence, while PBHS eighth-man, <strong>Thando Thembe,<\/strong> will deliver a physical challenge with his robust carries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>St Benedict&#8217;s College<\/strong> is expecting a rugged challenge from <em><strong>the Grey and Blue<\/strong> <\/em>of <strong>St Alban&#8217;s College<\/strong>. They meet on <em><strong>Bennies<\/strong><\/em>&#8216; home turf at 13:00, in Bedfordview. on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The visitors will need to be wary of the educated boot and speed of the home side&#8217;s fullback, <strong>Samuel Sendwe<\/strong>. Alongside him, the solid defence of inside centre, <strong>Wade Ramsay<\/strong>,\u00a0 will give St Benedict&#8217;s opportunities to turn defence into attack.<\/p>\n<p>Much will be expected of the forwards from the Grey and Blue.
