Southern Kings team to face Waratahs

The Southern Kings will have the service of their speedster Sergeal Petersen back in their starting line up when they face the Waratahs this coming Saturday at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. Petersen who missed out on his teams last two games against the Bulls and the Cheetahs due to a groin strain is fit and ready to go.

Petersen will replace Michael Killian, who will return to the Vodacom Cup side to face the Blue Bulls in their quarter final clash in Pretoria on Saturday. Siyanda Grey will keep his spot in the starting XV after making his debut for the Super Rugby side against the Cheetahs last weekend. Luke Watson will again start on the bench as their is no reason to break up the in form loose trio of Jacques Engelbrecht, Wimpie van der Walt and Cornell du Preez.

Lets hope the Kings can continue their dominance over Australian opposition after they recorded their first ever Super Rugby win against the Western Force, an away draw against the table topping Brumbies and their first away win against the Rebels in Melbourne.

Kick off will be at 17:05.
