Well Snapster from what I have seen this seems a little better? Scrum remains a worry?
Ex Superpsort
There are five changes in the starting line-up of the Junior Springboks to play against Wales in the IRB Junior World Championship rugby semifinal in Vannes, France, on Tuesday evening.
Among the backs, flyhalf Robert du Preez returns to play in the No 10 jersey while Handré Pollard moves to inside centre in place of Rohan Janse van Rensburg. Stefan Ungerer reclaims the No 9 jersey from his Sharks provincial teammate Hanco Venter.
Andrew Beerwinkel will start at loose head prop in place of Sti Sithole while Luan de Bruin is restored to the side after missing the match against France because of suspension. De Bruin’s suspension of four weeks was set aside following a successful appeal. Marné Coetzee therefore moves to the bench to make way for De Bruin.
Among the replacements, flanker Kwagga Smith comes in for the injured Jannes Kirsten while Justin Geduld, who missed the French match because of a slight knee injury, was included among the backs after passing a fitness test on Monday.
Junior Springboks coach, Dawie Theron, commented: “This is a very important match for us and we know that Wales is a well-coached side with a good structure and especially a very good kicking game.
"We have done our homework and believe that we are a well-prepared physical side and we are comfortable with the way we want to play. The team is looking forward to play in this semifinal match.”
Kick-off time is 6:15pm CAT (SA, GMT+2) and SuperSport will show both semifinals live, with broadcasting starting from 6pm.
