Resolution Impala Saracens tighthead Duncan ‘Share5′ Mwangi starts in the same position for Tusker Simba XVs in a Vodacom Cup match at Cape Town. The burly prop has been in sparkling scrummaging form for the Red Shirts all season, culminating in his call up. ‘Share5′ was a reserve prop when The Simbas upset the EP Kings 17-10, last weekend.
Mwangi partners Curtis Lilako at prop and have Edwin Oseko at hooker in an all-changed front row. This is an opportunity to challenge the Kang’ethe twins – James and Joseph started last weekend, and have been Kenya XVs regulars when available. The twins are now done with university studies and should now be more consistently available. The Tusker Simba XVs head coach will also have more options available for him, in along campaign in South Africa.
