Johannesburg - Golden Lions coach Ivan van Rooyen has named his team for Saturday’s Currie Cup semi-final against the Sharks in Durban.
Springboks Elton Jantjies, Aphiwe Dyantyi and Warren Whiteley were included in the starting XV, while Malcolm Marx and Franco Mostert were not considered.
Rudolf Straeuli, CEO of Lions Rugby Company, explained the selections: “Lions Rugby is proud of its growth and fortunate to continue to introduce and develop juniors into our senior system. Malcolm and Franco have been training with the seniors this week but it is imperative that the players are managed together with SA Rugby for the upcoming Test against England."
Saturday’s clash at Kings Park is scheduled for 14:30.
