EP Kings coach Robbi Kempson has announced his team for their second Currie Cup match against Boland on Saturday, naming St Andrew's old boy Sintu Manjezi as the captain.
The coach has rung the changes, making six alterations to his previous run on team. The most notable omissions being that of last week’s try scorers, Captain Jeremy Ward as well as speedster Athenkosi Mayinje. Mayinje drops to the bench, making way for Lindiwe Zungu on the left wing, while Ward drops out of the 22. Also missing out on this game is former SA Schools fullback Keanu Vers, who has been replaced by the exciting Courtney Winnaar. The 19-year-old, fleet footed star came on for an impressive cameo against SWD Eagles last week, earning cheers from the home crowd.
This encounter will also prove to be a momentous one for open-side flanker Sintu Manjezi. The 21-year-old as been given the honour of captaining the side. Although it will be his first time assuming the role at this level, leadership is nothing new to him, having also skippered the St. Andrews rugby team in 2013.
