Phil Vickery has been handed the Captain responsibility for the 5th match against Western Province (Stormers) this Saturday as Paul O’Connell and Brian OI’Driscoll are not in the Match day 22.
W.P have named a strong squad however they will be without they will be without their two Super star players Schalk Burger and Jean de Villiers. Luke Watson has been selected as Captain for W.P. against the Lions. Morgan Newman who was taken to the Springbok training camp will start at 13. Newman was a shock selection by Peter De Villiers for the training camp. Peter Grant who has 5 Springbok caps to his name will start at inside center.
W.P’s squad is pretty strong and I think we will have a good game on our hands.
