Time to Strike<\/a>: <\/p>\n

The Cell C Sharks Under 21\u2019s will host their Leopards\u2019 counterparts at JONSSON KINGS PARK on Friday afternoon hoping for a return to success in their SA Rugby Under 21 Championship return leg clash.<\/p>\n

The Leopards earned their only victory of the tournament in the opening round, their home leg match against the Cell C Sharks Under 21s in Potchefstroom a month ago. Just one point separated the two teams in the Leopards\u2019 30-29 victory \u2013 their only one of the campaign.<\/p>\n

But since then, they have failed to register another win in the tournament and currently prop up the six-team log with seven points.<\/p>\n

A hugely disappointing 44-40 loss to Free State last week saw the Cell C Sharks Under 21\u2019s swap places on the log with the team from Bloemfontein, although they have an opportunity to strike right back this weekend in a tough round of fixtures.<\/p>\n

Head coach Mike Vowles has made a number of changes to the pack for this match, with Cullen van der Merwe back at hooker in place of Fez Mbatha and Francois Klopper replacing Cleo Kundiana at tighthead.<\/p>\n

There is also a new lock pairing of Dylan Weideman (for Marcell Barnard) and Emile van Heerden, in for Jeandre Labuschagne who moves to flank with Evan Roos moving to eighth man which sees captain Adam Mountford shifting to flank for Dylan Richardson.<\/p>\n

There is just one change to the backline, Muller du Plessis replacing Thaakir Abrahams at fullback.<\/p>\n

The match kicks off at 2pm.<\/p>\n
