The Sharks

Sharks coach John Plumtree has named Jean Deysel at eighthman as one of three Currie Cup changes for the Blue Bulls at Loftus this Saturday.

Plumtree has made three changes after Ryan Kankowski was ruled out for four weeks with a broken finger.

Deysel starts this weekend at eighthman after coming on in the second half against the Lions last week.

Jan Andre Marais gets his second start and will play alongside Ross Skeate in the second row, while Wiehahn Herbst gets a break with Eugene van Staden starting at tighthead prop.

The backline remains unchanged but Plumtree has named locks on the bench Anton Bresler and Alistair Hargreaves.

Kyle Cooper , Jacques Botes, Conrad Hoffmann and Adi Jacobs complete the bench making a five forwards and two backs mix.
