By Online Editors
Thursday 28 May 2009

FNB UJ will be without their star centre and captain, Clinton de Klerk, when they travel to Longdale to take on Raiders in a Grand Challenge fixture on Saturday.

According to suparugby.com, one of Walter Venter or Byron Godfrey will replace De Klerk, who scored two tries in UJ's 54-34 win over Impalas last weekend.

Wigan Pekeur is back on the right-wing in place of Hennie Oosthuizen, with coach Hugo van As also making a few adjustments to his pack for this clash against the unpredictable Raiders.

Ysel Swanepoel, Andries Nel and KP du Plessis step in this week; replacing Andries Nel, Lehan Koekemoer and Wayne Swart, respectively.

Nel, however, has been moved to lock in place of Koekemoer and will partner UJ stalwart Martyn Lombard in the second row.

The UJ team: 15 Earl Lewis, 14 Wigan Pekeur, 13 Walter Venter/Byron Godfrey, 12 JJ Pienaar, 11 Itumeleng Mogotsi, 10 André Smith, 9 Jaco Snyman, 8 Hennie Killian, 7 Ysel Swanepoel, 6 Julian Erasmus, 5 Andries Nel, 4 Martyn Lombard, 3 Clint van Niekerk, 2 Edgar Marutlulle, 1 KP du Plessis.
Replacements: TBC.

Head coach: Hugo van As
