Highly-rated prop Jordan Jooste will make his first appearance for the DHL Stormers Bolts in the SA Rugby U20 Cup match against Sharks GEN in Durban on Friday.<\/p>\n
Jooste is one of seven players who are currently at the Stormers Rugby Institute included in the starting line-up for the coastal encounter, which kicks off at 13h00 on Friday.<\/p>\n
The inclusion of Jooste sees Zak Hickman move across the front row to start at tighthead prop , in what is the only change to the forward pack.<\/p>\n
There is just one change in the backline, with Freek de Kock starting on the right wing.<\/p>\n
Head Coach Johno van der Walt said that it was crucial to keep as much continuity in selection as possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was fantastic to get our campaign off to a winning start at DHL Stadium two weeks ago, but we know that we will have to make a step-up this week against a Sharks GEN that will be determined to turn things around at home.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe kept the same combinations together as far as possible as we look to build some cohesion and put together a big performance on the road,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
