Mjekevu walks into Kings' starting XV

Mjekevu replaces Luzuko Vulindlu, who is out with a hamstring tear, at left wing in his first match for the Kings against the Jaguares at the Nelson Mandela Stadium on Friday.

Mjekevu has been loaned to the Kings from the Sharks for the rest of the 2016 Super Rugby season.

Davids also announced that centre Stefan Watermeyer, who has missed the past two matched due to a tendon strain in his foot, has been cleared and will be returning to his usual berth at outside centre, seeing Phillipus du Plessis move onto the bench.

Up front, hooker Edgar Marutlulle returns to starting line-up after missing the last game due to illness. 

He takes up Martin Ferreira's berth, who is out for the rest of the season with a dislocated rib.

Davids also rotated Schalk Oelofse and JC Astle at flank, with Astle coming up from the bench to start this week.

Utility back Dewald Human secures a berth on the bench in place of Elgar Watts who is off due to a tendon strain in his foot.
