Prop Zachary Porthen returns to lead a re-jigged Junior Springboks lineup against Argentina for their final U20 Rugby Championship clash Down Under on Sunday.
Porthen missed the defeat by hosts Australia on Tuesday because of a hand injury, but is back in the starting XV in a team showing several changes for the second-last fixture of the inaugural competition at the Sunshine Coast Stadium in Queensland.
There is a new-look front row of props Ruan Swart and Porthen and hooker Juan Smal. Van Heerden links up with Thomas Dyer in the second row, while Hlanki, Sibabalwe Mahashe and Jacobs form the loose trio. “Growth is about applying the learnings and I hope we can showcase the ability we have within the group.”
