Seabelo Senatla will replace the injured Jamba Ulengo in the South Africa A squad for their two-match series against the French Barbarians in June.

Ulengo was initially named in the 26-man squad to be coached by Johan Ackermann, but has been ruled out with advanced patellar tendinosis, which will require that he undergoes rehabilitation for the next six weeks. 

Senatla – the current World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year – will link up with his SA A teammates early next month when the entire squad is set to assemble in preparation for their matches at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on 16 June and at Orlando Stadium in Soweto on 23 June.
