Loading...Hooker Scarra Ntubeni will make his return from injury in DHL Western Province’s Carling Currie Cup semifinal against the Vodacom Bulls in Pretoria on Friday.
Ntubeni comes in as one of two changes to the starting team for the play-off match, which kicks off at 19h00 on Friday at Loftus Versfeld.
Both changes are in the front row, with tighthead Sazi Sandi joining Ntubeni up front and Neethling Fouche set to make an impact in the second half from the replacements bench.
Also on the extended replacements bench are hooker Andre-Hugo Venter and fullback Warrick Gelant.
DHL Western Province Head Coach John Dobson said that it is fantastic to have some continuity in selection ahead of the semifinal.
“We were pleased with the way the team stood up last week and we will need to show the same pride in the jersey up in Pretoria on Friday, so we are very happy to be going in with most of the same combinations.
“We know that we will have to be accurate in all areas of our game and every player in our matchday squad is ready to give everything they have to get the result we need and book a place in the final,” he said.
