Cell C Sharks Director of Rugby Jake White has picked Frans Steyn at flyhalf for their Vodacom Super Rugby match against the Rebels in Melbourne on Friday morning (SA time).
Steyn’s move means Tim Swiel drops out of the match-23, with Heimar Williams getting the inside centre berth.

There are a total of eight changes to the starting team, three of which are positional switches. At the back, Odwa Ndungane is back on the wing, with JP Pietersen shifting to left wing in the place of the injured Sbura Sithole.

Upfront, Ryan Kankowski returns at No 8 for Keegan Daniel, Jean Deysel and Bismarck du Plessis are back after missing the Highlanders clash, with Willem Alberts shifting back to lock, with Kyle Cooper and Etienne Oosthuizen moving back to the bench.

Also on the bench is fit-again Cobus Reinach and Fred Zeilinga.
