The Cell C Sharks Under 21s meet their Vodacom Blue Bulls age group counterparts in a fascinating SA Rugby Under 21 Championship match at Emirates Airline Park on Sunday.
After losing to the Lions last week, the Vodacom Blue Bulls will want to get back to winning ways to maintain their top of the table status, while the Cell C Sharks, buoyed by their emphatic 45-24 victory over Western Province will be looking to add the big scalp of the log leaders to their current tally. In the second match of the double-header, DHL Western Province and Toyota Free State lock horns.
The Cell C Sharks’ six tries to four win over Province on Monday consigned the Capetonians to successive defeats and they currently prop up the log table without having registered a win. Captain Fez Mbatha scored one of the six tries with the rest coming from Evan Roos, Le Roux Malan, DJ Falconer and Thaakir Abrahams who contributed a brace.
Head coach Phiwe Nomlomo has made just two personnel changes for this match, Rynhardt Jonker replacing Boeta Chamberlain at flyhalf (due to injury) and Murray Koster coming in at centre with Le Roux Malan shifting to DJ Falconer’s position at outside centre.
The match kicks off at 10.30am with Province and Free going head-to-head at 1.45pm.

Quick Durban KwaZulu-Natal Fact: KwaZulu-Natal Economy – Durban is a rapidly growing urban area and is by most measures the busiest port in Africa, with a good rail network linking into Southern Africa. Sugar refining is the main industry. Sheep, cattle, dairy, citrus fruits, corn, sorghum, cotton, bananas, and pineapples are also raised. There is an embryonic KwaZulu-Natal wine industry. In addition to sugar refining, industries (located mainly in and around Durban) include textile, clothing, chemicals, rubber, fertilizer, paper, vehicle assembly and food-processing plants, tanneries, and oil refineries. There are large aluminium-smelting plants at Richards Bay, on the north coast. The province produces considerable amounts of coal (especially coke) and timber. About 82% of the population is black. During apartheid, a large percentage were forced to live in Bantu homelands (Bantustans), which had a subsistence economy, based on cattle raising and corn growing. Wildlife and tourism is increasingly important to the economy of KwaZulu-Natal. Tourists pay up to $ 10,000 for safaris on which they might see lions, elephants and giraffes.
