Sharks Coach John Plumtree has confirmed the good news that Pat Cilliers has come through a final fitness test on the right side of the knee injury he sustained against Boland last week, naming the tighthead prop in the starting lineup.

The only change sees outside centre Andries Strauss back in the side for Waylon Murray who reverts to the bench. There are two changes amongst the replacements with Under 21 tighthead Julian Redelinghuys looking set to make his senior debut, taking the place of Melusi Mthethwa who was named last week. The final change sees scrumhalf Rory Kockott come in for Ross Cronje.
