Springbok Juan de Jongh will make his return from injury for Western Province in the Currie Cup encounter with the Vodacom Bulls at Loftus Versfeld on Wednesday.
The veteran centre comes straight into the starting XV for the north-south clash as one of two changes in the WP backline, with Tim Swiel starting at flyhalf.WP coach Jerome Paarwater said that the continuity in selection is a major boost as they head up to Pretoria.
“It is very helpful to have the same combinations in place, especially with a player of Juan’s experience coming in as well. We will give it a full go up at Loftus and the players are looking forward to the challenge,” he said.15 Tristan Leyds, 14 Sergeal Petersen, 13 Juan de Jongh, 12 Cornel Smit, 11 Angelo Davids, 10 Tim Swiel, 9 Godlen Masimla, 8 Keke Morabe, 7 Marcel Theunissen, 6 Nama Xaba , 5 Connor Evans, 4 Ben-Jason Dixon, 3 Sazi Sandi, 2 JJ Kotze, 1 Kwenzo Blose.
