The Vodacom Blue Bulls u.21 coach, Nollis Marais, is looking for consistency when his team takes on the Lions junior side in Johannesburg on Saturday.
The coach retained his winning side from last weekend’s win against Western Province, but did add fit again Lean Schwartz to his bench after the latter recovered from a hamstring strain.
“The Lions will provide a very tough challenge,”Marais said. “We had to fight really hard to haul in Western Province and I would love the team to spare me going grey early,” the coach joked.
The team is: Clayton Blommetjies, Sampie Mastriet, Ulrich Beyers, Fanie Booysen, Courtnall Skosan, JC Roos, Lohan Jacobs, Jono Ross ©, Wiaan Liebenberg, Dalton Davies, Franco Mostert, Gerno Eksteen, Gerhard Engelbrecht, Bongi Mbonambi, Juan Schoeman.
Reserves: Jacques Momberg, Basil Short, JJ Breet, Lean Schwartz, Xander Redelinghuys, Adri Jacobs, Bradley Moolman.
Injured: Vincent Koch, Mauritz Lombard, Stephan Schoeman, Pieter van der Walt.
