WP vs Overseas Teams
Two Western Province teams will play two overseas teams as part of a four-match, Under-18 international programme at City Park on Friday, 9 August 2013.
The Western Province teams will play Montpellier Under-18 club side from France and the Italy Under-18 team.
With the likes of Rikus Bothma (captain), Grant Hermanus, Daniel du Plessis, Jacques Vermeulen and Thomas du Toit all turning out for the SA Under-18s, and Ruan Brits, Burger van Niekerk, Herschelle Jantjies and Heinrich Bühr injured, the WP Craven Week XV has a slightly different look to it from last month's victorious side at Craven Week.
