Brothers Sam and Joe Adams have been selected for a Sussex under-19s tour of South Africa next month.

The Brighton all-rounders are confident the championship county's youngsters will receive a warm welcome despite England's recent hard-fought victory over the Springboks on route to Sunday's Rugby World Cup semi-final against France.

Sam, 17, said: "I've been watching the rugby and there were a few interesting moments against South Africa. I'm sure it'll be a great tour."

The siblings helped Glynde and Beddingham win the East Sussex Senior League. Sam, who took 7-0 in the Sussex Junior Festival, played for Sussex under-17s last summer. Joe was with the county at under-16s. Joe, 16, an off-spinner and batsman, said: "It'll be a good learning experience."

Sussex will compete in a festival against Boland, Eastern Province and Western Province. The tour is from December 1-23.
