WP injury concerns deepen

Kobus van Wyk (hamstring contusion), Chris Cloete (calf muscle) and Cheslin Kolbe (bone bruising and a knock to shoulder) are all unavailable for selection for their final round-robin match against the Eastern Province Kings at Newlands on Friday.

The trio joins Siyabonga Ntubeni (calf muscle) and Rynhardt Elstadt (quadricep), who remains on the injured list and are also unavailable.

There is a silver lining for the Cape side though as both Jano Vermaak and Dillyn Leyds have recovered from their groin strains and are available for selection.

The respective Under-21 and U19 teams will be in action as well, with the U19s taking on the EP Kings at 13.45 and the U21s meeting at 15.45.
