With the Bulls, Sharks, Lions and Stormers having all qualified to continue their route in the Champions Cup and Challenge Cup, all four sides have now packed their bags for demanding URC fixtures.
The Sharks have rung the changes to the side that lost to Harlequins last week.
“At this stage of the season, we’ve addressed where we’re lying on the log and where we feel we should be sitting, but we have played two games less than some of the teams, and we know the games we have left we have to win and that starts this weekend where we’re looking to put in a good performance,” Sharks centre Ben Tapuai said.
“Whether they have their Scottish internationals or they don’t, we know it’s important for their campaign to try and finish as high as they can, the same for us. Marvin Orie will captain the side and resumes his lock partnership with Ben-Jason Dixon. New recruit Ruben van Heerden is in line to make his Stormers debut from the bench.
