The Cell C Sharks Under 19s will continue their SA Rugby Under 19 Cup campaign when they travel to Cape Town to take on the Western Province Under 19s on Saturday.
They will look to build on their first round victory in this single round tournament that features just four teams.
The Bulls’ 24-3 round one victory over Western Province has installed them as log leaders, while the Cell C Sharks’ 21-15 defeat of Free State means that the juniors from Durban are second on the log.
Head coach, former Cell C Sharks and Springbok hero JP Pietersen, has made just three changes to his starting lineup for this coastal derby, two in the back row and one amongst the backs.
Pietersen has brought in new flanks, Torbyn Visser for Lwazi Sithole and Khumo-etsile Nkutha in place of Kevin Kakoma, while Michael Koch moves to the number nine jersey in the final personnel change.
There is one position switch, where last week’s scrumhalf Christian Els shifts to flyhalf in place of Jean Smith.
Saturday’s clash at Villagers RFC kicks off at 12 noon.

Quick Durban KwaZulu-Natal Fact: Cato Manor in Durban once attracted attention from around the world because it was where rioting broke out in 1959 in protest against the city’s beerhalls and the looming prospect of mass forced removals in which the residents would be uprooted from their homes in terms of the notorious Group Areas Act, and resettled in townships. The area was granted to George Christopher Cato in 1865, perhaps as a reward for his years of community service and for the fact that, in 1854, he had become Durban’s first Mayor. The land was sub-divided in the early 1900s and leased to Indian market gardeners, many of whom were either former indentured labourers, who had come to South Africa to work on the sugar plantations, or their descendents.
