The Sharks have opted for consistency as they made only one change to the 22 players that defeatedthe Blue Bulls at the Absa Stadium last weekend.

Willem Alberts replaces Shkoliwe Ndlovu  on the bench, with the starting15 remaining the same as they were against the Bulls. Alberts had sustained an ankle injury during the Super14 which kept him sidelined till now.

Plumtree felt they needed to build on what had been achieved so far, thus maintaining momentum by keeping a  consistent selection policy, He also pointed out that the Puma’s are a well drilled unit that scrummed strongly and ran the ball very effectively and would not be taken lightly.

Sharks team is as follows:

15. Louis Ludik
14. JP Pietersen
13. Stefan Terblanche (Capt)
12. Patrick Lambie
11. Lwazi Mvovo
10. Steve Meyer
9. Charl McLeod
8. Keegan Daniel
7. Michael Rhodes
6. Jacques Botes
5. Alistair Hargreaves
4. Steven Sykes
3. Wiehahn Herbst
2. Craig Burden
1. Patric Cilliers

Replacements:
16. Kyle Cooper
17. Eugene van Staden
18. Ross Skeate
19. Willem Alberts
20. Rory Kockott
21. Monty Dumond
22. Andries Strauss
