John Plumtree has made 2 changes to the Sharks team from last week, seeing JP Pietersen getting a start ahead of Lwazi Mvovo who started the last 3 games and Skipper John Smit dropping to the bench in the place of Beast Mtawarira who was explosive in his last outingwhen comming onto the field as a substitute.

 John Smit will play off the bench as cover for Bismarck du Plessis at hooker, while Eugene van Staden covers both sides of the scrum.Jacques-Louis Potgieter has been passed fit after suffering a calf strain in last week’s match and retains his place at flyhalf while JP Pietersen is given a start with Lwazi Mvovo getting a breather.

Stefan Terblanche will lead his side against the Stormers in his 112th Vodacom Super Rugby match aware of the enormity of the event. The Sharks boast a very effective home record against the Stormers, but know that history counts for little. This game is going to be one of the highlights of the weekend’s action and fans are urged to get to Mr Price KINGS PARK in support of the team who are back for their first home game since February 26, when they defeated the visiting Blues 26-12.
