Kings change four for Waratahs

Kings head coach Deon Davids has made four changes, including a positional switch, to his starting XV for Friday’s clash with the Waratahs in Sydney.

There is one change in the back-line, which started in last weekend’s loss against the Reds in Brisbane, with Wandile Mjekevu taking over from Yaw Penxe on the right wing.

In the forwards, Andisa Ntsila replaces Ruaan Lerm at number eight while Irne Herbst takes over from Mzwanele Zito in the second row.

The final change is in the front row where Ross Geldenhuys takes over from Justin Forwood, who moves over to the other side of the scrum where he replaces Chris Heiberg who wore the number one jersey against the Reds.
