Sharks Name Team To Face Stormers
The Sharks team has been named to travel to Cape Town this weekend to take on the Stormers.
A loss to the Sharks will consign the Stormers to finish bottom of the South African Conference, but they can expect no charity from a Sharks side aiming to qualify for the play-offs in two weeks’ time.
Head coach Robert du Preez has been forced to make a change at flank where Jacques Vermeulen replaces the injured Jean-Luc du Preez in one of four changes to the side that beat the Lions last week.
In the second change to the pack, Juan Schoeman comes in for Beast Mtawarira who, with his heavy workload in June for the Springboks and Cell C Sharks, gets a break, but will play off the bench.
Scrumhalves Louis Schreuder and Cameron Wright rotate, while Sbu Nkosi returns after pulling out of the Lions match at the last minute, with Lwazi Mvovo retaining a starting position on the other wing, with Makazole Mapimpi falling out of the 23.
