The SA Schools team to play France in the under-18 international series has been named. All four KwaZulu-Natal representatives are in the 23-players squad. Jesse Kriel, Sandile Kubeka and Jean-Luc du Preez will start in their favoured positions but it looks like Daniel du Preez will come off the bench and be used in the backrow as opposed to lock where he has done duty for Kearsney and KZN Schools over the past two seasons.

@RuggaZ: Unless there is a change in heart, I don’t think any games are televised. Unlike other years
Will any of the games be televised?
