College star replaces Petersen

Sergeal Petersen is no longer in the SA Under-20 squad for the Junior World Championships.

The winger damaged his hamstring while playing for the Southern Kings against the Waratahs and is still battling with the injury.

Former Maritzburg College and SA Schools utility back, Jessie Kriel, will replace Petersen in the national squad.

Kriel is expected to join the squad in Stellenbosch on Tuesday morning.

The SA Under-20s will leave for France on Thursday.
