The Unison BARLA Great Britain Young Lions v South Africa Presidents X111 Preview

The Unison BARLA Great Britain Young Lions play their penultimate match of their five-game tour of South Africa on Wednesday evening at the Vaal Rugby Clubin Vanderbijlpark against the South Africa President’s XIII.

Coach Garry Schofield has once again shuffled his cards and is able to bring back Mark Ballard, the tour captain, after illness kept him out ofthe last two games. But Zach Johnson has been ruled out of the last twomatches with a knee injury.

"We’ve played well so far but I don’t want any complacency creeping in,"said Schofield.

"Our goal is very clear - we want to return home with five wins and this is step number four.

"But the last couple of training sessions have probably been the best two so far and that’s a great sign atthis stage of the tour."
