Leopards select their teams

Leopards open their Craven week campaign on July 12 against Eastern Province Country Districts.

Last year's Craven Week did not start on a good foor for Leopards. Their first match saw them go down 17-28 to Griquas on Day two.

However, with a much more experienced team this time around, the men from North West fancy their chances in this year's Craven Week tournament.

Leopards have the privilege of welcoming back more than five 2015 Craven Week players and three 2015 Academy players to this year's  Craven Week side.

Players back to this year's Craven week side, having been part of 2015 squad are Yamkele Nyembe, Christopher Kemm, Dane Booysen, Andre Kock, Ethan Ballot, Lionel George,  and Martin de Villiers,

While 2015 Academy players Gerhard Fourie, Gert Jonker and Tiaan du Toit have been drafted to this year's Craven Week side.
