Plumtree hopes strongest Sharks team yet will deliver results ... starting with UIster

Springbok lock Eben Etzebeth returns from a knee operation to start at lock, with loose-head prop Ntuthuko Mchunu playing in his 50th international game for the franchise.
Critically, versatile Springbok prop Vincent Koch has been named on the bench, ensuring the Sharks have match-end stamina, which is something that has failed them in recent fixtures.South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future.
