Watson out for Pumas clash
Eastern Province Kings play the Pumas in Port Elizabeth on Friday August 21.
Unfortunately the pair have not responded to treatment as quickly as the team management had hoped. They have been replaced so as to not risk losing them for the remainder of our Currie Cup campaign.
Cameron Lindsay has replaced Stefan Willemse on the bench, while Thembelani Bholi has been moved to the starting line up in place of Luke Watson, with Paul Schoeman taking his place on the bench.
Steven Sykes will captain the team.
