Sharks pair in SA Under-20 side

The SA Under-20 rugby selectors have confirmed their side for the opening fixture of their IRB Junior World Championship campaign.

The starting 15 includes two Sharks players in Robert du Preez and Stefan Ungerer.

Ruan Steenkamp will captain a team also featuring SA Sevens stars Justin Geduld, Cheslin Kolbe and Seabelo Senatla.

Hanco Venter and former Maritzburg College pupil, Jesse Kriel, are both on the SA Under-20 bench.

Venter represented the Sharks in the Vodacom Cup this season.

South Africa, the defending champions, will meet the USA in France tonight.

Kickoff is at 20h45 - South African time.
