Director of rugby Neil Powell has made three enforced changes to the Sharks 23 to lock horns with Toulouse in the Champions Cup quarter-finals on Saturday.
Hyron Andrews replaces injured Springbok Eben Etzebeth at lock, while Grant Williams comes in for fellow Bok Jaden Hendrikse at scrumhalf, as loose forward Jeandre Labuschagne takes over from Emile van Heerden on the bench.
Sharks centre Lukhanyo Am admitted that the team are all set after the huge Munster clash, and he expects nothing different this week against the French giants.“The bodies were a bit sore after the Munster game, that was a really physical game, close to test match demands,” he said. “One or two wins gets your momentum going and right now we’re in a good space. We’re going to France to go play rugby.
“It’s almost like-for-like and going to Toulouse, they’re a big side in France with home ground advantage which is going to be a challenge for us, but it’s something we’ve prepared for.
