Sharks make several changes for clash with Lions
The Sharks have made a number of changes for their team to play the Lions this Saturday.
Let’s start in the backline. As expected, Pat Lambie starts at flyhalf in the absence of the injured Steve Meyer with Andries Strauss filling the inside centre berth vacated by Lambie.
But it is in the forwards where most of the changes occur. Willem Alberts starts at blindside flank in place of Keegan Daniel who drops moves across to openside flank with Jacques Botes dropping to the bench. Al Hargreaves retakes his number 5 jersey from Ross Skeate, who moves to the bench. Beast Mtawarira takes the place of Pat Cilliers at loosehead prop while Jannie du Plessis starts at tighthead prop with Wiehan Herbst dropping out of the match 22. Bismarck will make a welcome return to rugby from the bench while Eugene van Staden will cover both prop positions from the bench, the bench is again a 5-2 split with Jean Deysel completing the forward replacements while the back replacements are Rory Kockott and Riaan Swanepoel
