Rugby: Injury-forced change to the Junior Boks squad for the U20 Championship

# Rugby: The Junior Springboks have made an injury-forced change to their squad for the Under-20 Rugby Championship, which starts next Monday in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape. Experienced hooker Siphosethu Mnebelele sustained an ankle injury late last week in Stellenbosch. He will be replaced by Mahle Sithole. Junior Bok head coach Kevin Foote says Mnebelele’s injury is unfortunate, but this gives Sithole a great chance to showcase his abilities. South Africa will open their campaign against Argentina, followed by Australia on May 3rd and New Zealand on May 9th.
