SA Schools coach Hein Kriek on Friday proved faith in the players that held their nerve to win against France in the Under-18 International Series for their final clash against England on Saturday as he made only a few changes to his starting team.<\/span><\/p>\n Kriek made five personnel changes to his team, two of which were forced by concussion, which paved the way for utility forwards Hendr\u00e9 Stassen and Zain Davids to be promoted from the SA Schools A team to the SA Schools team. Stassen replaces Ruben van Heerden in the run-on team, while flanker Johan Visser takes over from Cobus Wiese.<\/span><\/p>\n The other changes in the starting line-up were at loosehead prop where Cabous Eloff replaces Ashwyn Adams, while Curwin Bosch moves from fullback to flyhalf in place of Damian Willemse, and Andell Loubser gets a run at fullback. On the left wing Manie Libbok is selected in place of Wandisile Simelane.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cEngland have won both their matches in the Series so far and they are a strong unit, so we will have to be at our best to beat them,\u201d said Kriek. \u201cWith that in mind we opted for continuity in selection in the starting line-up, however, the replacements will play an equally important role to keep alive our hopes of finishing the tournament unbeaten.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cEngland got the better of us in the final match of the tournament last year, which marked our first defeat in the series in four years, but I believe in the team, and if they play to their potential hopefully we can get the desired result.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The final round of matches will be played at the City Park Stadium in Crawford, Cape Town with the SA Schools team meeting England in the Series decider, while the SA Schools A team will battle it out with Wales and France will go up against Italy.<\/span><\/p>\n SA Schools A coach Lance Sendin, meanwhile, made nine changes to his starting team for their clash against Wales, which features new-look looseforward and halfback combinations. Flankers Phillip Krause and Kwanda Dimaza will join forces with No8 Khanya Ncusane in the loose trio, while scrumhalf Matthew Dahl and flyhalf Bader Pretorius will dictate play. Dahl also takes over the captaincy from Stassen.<\/span><\/p>\n In the front row props Christopher Klopper and Mashao Mukhari have been handed starts, while Ruan Vermaak replaces Stassen at lock, and centre Abner van Reenen takes over from Cyprian Nkomo.<\/span><\/p>\n The SA Schools A team will meet Wales at 11h00 and the SA Schools team take on England at 15h00, with the matches being broadcast live on SuperSport 8.<\/span><\/p>\n SA Schools team to face England:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 15 \u2013 Andell Loubser (Blue Bulls, Menlo Park)<\/span><\/p>\n 14 \u2013 Nico Leonard (Western Province, Paul Roos Gymnasium)<\/span><\/p>\n 13 \u2013 Stedman Gans (Blue Bulls, Ho\u00ebrskool, Waterkloof)<\/span><\/p>\n 12 \u2013 Heino Bezuidenhout (Eastern Province, Daniel Pienaar)<\/span><\/p>\n 11 \u2013 Manie Libbok (SWD, Outeniqua)<\/span><\/p>\n 10 \u2013 Curwin Bosch (Eastern Province, Grey)<\/span><\/p>\n 9 \u2013 Embrose Papier (Blue Bulls, Garsfontein)<\/span><\/p>\n 8 \u2013 Hacjivah Dayimani (Golden Lions, Jeppe Boys)<\/span><\/p>\n 7 \u2013 Ernst van Rhyn (Captain) \u2013 (Western Province, Paul Roos Gymnasium)<\/span><\/p>\n 6 \u2013 Johan Visser (Western Province, Paarl Gymnasium)<\/span><\/p>\n 5 \u2013 Ruben de Villiers (Western Province, Paarl Boys High)<\/span><\/p>\n 4 \u2013 Hendr\u00e9 Stassen (Valke, EG Jansen)<\/span><\/p>\n 3 \u2013 Carl\u0171 Sadie (Western Province, Bellville High)<\/span><\/p>\n 2 \u2013 Johan Grobbelaar (Western Province, Paarl Gymnasium)<\/span><\/p>\n 1 \u2013 Cabous Eloff (Blue Bulls, AHS)<\/span><\/p>\n Replacements:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 16 \u2013 Nico Peyper (Valke, EG Jansen)<\/span><\/p>\n 17 \u2013 Ashwyn Adams (Western Province, Rondebosch Boys High)<\/span><\/p>\n 18 \u2013 Dewald Maritz (Pumas, Ho\u00ebrskool Nelspruit)<\/span><\/p>\n 19 \u2013 Kwezi Mafu (Eastern Province, Grey)<\/span><\/p>\n 20 \u2013 Zain Davids (Western Province, Rondebosch Boys High)<\/span><\/p>\n 21 \u2013 Jondr\u00e9 Williams (Western Province, Boland Landbou)<\/span><\/p>\n 22 \u2013 Damian Willemse (Western Province, Paul Roos Gymnasium)<\/span><\/p>\n 23 \u2013 David Brits (Border, Selborne College)<\/span><\/p>\n 24 \u2013 Wandisile Simelane (Golden Lions, Jeppe Boys)<\/span><\/p>\n 25 \u2013 Salmaan Moerat (Western Province, Paarl Boys High)<\/span><\/p>\n 26 \u2013 Manuel Ras (Western Province, Paarl Boys High)<\/span><\/p>\n SA Schools A team to face Wales:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 15 \u2013 Riaan van Rensburg (Eastern Province, Ho\u00ebrskool Framesby)<\/span><\/p>\n 14 \u2013 Tyreeq February (Western Province, Paarl Boys High)<\/span><\/p>\n 13 \u2013 Abner van Reenen (Blue Bulls, Garsfontein)<\/span><\/p>\n 12 \u2013 Cornel Smit (Western Province, Bishops)<\/span><\/p>\n 11 \u2013 Ryan Muller (Western Province, Bellville High)<\/span><\/p>\n 10 \u2013 Bader Pretorius (KwaZulu-Natal, Michaelhouse)<\/span><\/p>\n 9 \u2013 Matthew Dahl (Captain) – (KwaZulu-Natal, Hilton College)<\/span><\/p>\n 8 \u2013 Khanya Ncusane (Western Province, Paarl Boys High)<\/span><\/p>\n 7 \u2013 Kwanda Dimaza (Border, Dale College)<\/span><\/p>\n 6 \u2013 Phillip Krause (Blue Bulls, AHS)<\/span><\/p>\n 5 \u2013 Ruan Vermaak (Golden Lions, Ho\u00ebrskool Monument)<\/span><\/p>\n 4 \u2013 Reinhard Nothnagel (Golden Lions, Ho\u00ebrskool Monument)<\/span><\/p>\n 3 \u2013 Mashao Mukhari (Blue Bulls, Pretoria Boys High)<\/span><\/p>\n 2 \u2013 Marnus van der Merwe (Pumas, Hoerskool Nelspruit)<\/span><\/p>\n 1 \u2013 Christopher Klopper (KwaZulu-Natal, Glenwood High)<\/span><\/p>\n Replacements:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 16 \u2013 Andre Lategan (Eastern Province, Ho\u00ebrskool Framesby)<\/span><\/p>\n 17 \u2013 Abram Venter (Griquas, De Aar High)<\/span><\/p>\n 18 \u2013 Ignatius Prinsloo (Free State, Grey College)<\/span><\/p>\n 19 \u2013 Kamva Dilima (Eastern Province, Grey)<\/span><\/p>\n 20 \u2013 Marco Palvie (KwaZulu-Natal, Glenwood High)<\/span><\/p>\n 21 \u2013 Jason Olivier (Griffons, Welkom Gymnasium)<\/span><\/p>\n 22 \u2013 Eddie Fouche (Blue Bulls, AHS)<\/span><\/p>\n 23 \u2013 Cyprian Nkomo (Pumas, Ho\u00ebrskool Middelburg)<\/span><\/p>\n 24 \u2013 Majaahid van der Hoven (Western Province, Rylands High)<\/span><\/p>\n 25 \u2013 Earll Douwrie (Boland, HTS Drostdy)<\/span><\/p>\n Issued by SARU Corporate Affairs<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SA Schools coach Hein Kriek on Friday proved faith in the players that held their nerve to win against France in the Under-18 International Series for their final clash against England on Saturday as he made only a few changes to his starting team.
