The Ospreys have named their team to face the Vodacom Bulls at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Saturday 26th November in the BKT United Rugby Championship, K.O 3pm local time, 1pm UK time.
Rhys Webb is set to captain the side with Will Hickey lined up for his first start in the BKT URC. There are also two players on the bench that could possibly make their first appearance in the BKT URC, James Fender and Luke Scully.
An athletic and mobile forward who can play across the front row, Will Hickey captained Leinster u19s and played for Ireland u19s.
James Fender was recalled from the Cornish Pirates to cover injuries and international call ups ahead of the Ospreys SA tour. The Swansea born lock has also represented Wales at U20 level.
Similarly to Fender, Luke Scully also represented Wales at U20 level and had a stint at the Cornish Pirates. The Neath born fly-half has also featured for Swansea RFC this season.
