\"NewsGDameonVenter\"The Junior Springbok side for this year’s annual u20 World Championship in Argentina won’t be able to make any of their line-out calls in Afrikaans during their opening match on 4 June in Rosario against Scotland. On the Scottish side is Cristen van Niekerk<\/strong> (Monument), a former teammate of many Junior Springboks’<\/strong>\u00a0 at SA Schools level.<\/span><\/p>\n

Van Niekerk represented the Golden Lions at the Craven Week and also made the SA Schools’ back in 2017. But back to the Junior Springboks and their schools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No less than eight players out of the squad of 28 were part of the KwaZulu-Natal side that reached the main match of the Craven Week for the first time since 1990 back in 2017 in Johannesburg. The eight players are Sanele Nohamba<\/strong>, Jaden Hendrikse<\/strong> (both scrum-halves), Pepsi Buthelezi<\/strong>, Celimpilo Gumede<\/strong>, Dylan Richardson<\/strong> (all loose forwards), JJ van der Mescht<\/strong> (lock), Fezo Mbatha<\/strong> (hooker) and Thabisho Mdletshe<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All eight were also part of the Sharks U19 side that was crowned national champions during last year’s Saru u19 Provincial Championship<\/strong>. Another two players from the Boland, Thaakir Abrahams<\/strong> (Paarl Boys’ High) and Caleb Dingaan<\/strong> (Weston), were part of the victorious Sharks’ side.<\/span><\/p>\n

The KwaZulu-Natal u18 side lost 18-45 in the main match back in 2017 against the Golden Lions. A couple of the Lions’ troops for that day, Dameon Venter<\/strong> (Helpmekaar),\u00a0Asenathi Ntlabakanye<\/strong> (St Stithians College) and Keagan Glade<\/strong> (King Edward VII) were deemed good enough to make the trip to Argentina.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Only one player, Kudzwai Dube, prop of the Blue Bulls from Muir College in Uitenhage didn’t attend the annual Craven Week during his school’s career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The squad and their schools:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
