Henjo, a specialist lock forward, has been called up in anticipation of the huge physical onslaught awaiting Tuks in the final against Police.
Stanley has been released to take over the fly half and kicking duties for the Jongspan in the u.21 final, also against Police.
13 wins on the trot since the loss to Police in the first round gave Tuks momentum and self-confidence to dream for, but inexperience could still be a major stumbling block. Only three players in the XV also started the 2008 final against TUT.
They are outside centre Gerhard van der Merwe, No. 8 Coenraad Pieterse and flanker Gert Lubbe.

15 JUSTIN VAN STADEN
14 FANIE BOOYSEN
13 GERHARD VAN DER MERWE
12 DONOVAN MARAIS
11 PIETER GOTHAN
10 SHAUN DAVIDS (c)
