NMMU juggle their loose forwards
FNB NMMU head coach Kolie Brandt has juggled his team’s loose trio ahead of Monday’s Varsity Cup clash against FNB Shimlas at Xerox Shimlas Park (kick-off 6.30pm).
JP Kellerman moves up from the bench to displace Sameul Borsaah in the No.8 position, whilst Samuel Borsaah (No.6) takes over from Thomaso Farbes on the side of the scrum – as the Madibas look to open their account this week.
Coach Brandt has wisely not made any other changes to the starting line-up – that went down heavily to a rampant Maties line-up last week – but he has included Chris Dicks on the bench this week, after Kellerman’s promotion to the starting XV.
The Madibas will once again be captained by nippy scrumhalf Luso Booi.
The FNB NMMU team: 15 Aluzant Munnik, 14 Oscar Mazaka, 13 Williams Heydenrych, 12 Wade Roos, 11 Darryl Turner, 10 Willem Laubscher, 9 Luso Booi (captain), 8 JP Kellerman, 7 Ferdie Gerber, 6 Samuel Borsaah, 5 Jannie Fourie, 4 Mathew Lutge, 3 Pierre Hammand, 2 Hugo Lampbrechts, 1 Tyron Willams.
Replacements: 16 Werner Kapp, 17 Chariel van Jaarsveld, 18 De Wet De Lange, 19 Kemsley Wesso, 20 Hugo van Heerden, 21 Phiwe Lallendle, 22 Ivan Cowley, 23 Chris Dicks.
