Varsity CupCoach Franco Smith has been forced to make changes to his Varsity Cup Dream Team which will tackle the Baby Boks in Stellenbosch next Tuesday evening.

UP-Tuks players Dan Kriel and Jaco Visagie are not available for selection and had to be replaced.

Kriel’s spot at inside centre has been taken by Johan Deysel who will now link up with his NWU-Pukke team-mate Rowayne Beukman in midfield.

Visagie was due to start as a replacement and experienced UFS-Shimlas hooker Elandre Hugget will now take his spot on the bench.

Smith, who took Shimlas to their 1st ever Varsity Cup title, was named coach of the Dream Team, with Hendro Scholtz and David Manual named as his assistants.

The once off fixture will be played at Danie Craven Stadium in Stellenbosch on 21 April at 19:00 SA Time and will be broadcast live on SuperSport 1.
