Sharks mostly unchanged for Province clash

Sharks mostly unchanged for Province clash

The Cell Sharks have made just one change to their starting lineup for their fifth round Currie Cup clash against Western Province this weekend.

That change comes in the backline as S'bura Sithole shifts into the starting lineup in place of Lwazi Mvovo. The latter has been recalled to the Springbok squad as injury cover for Ruan Combrinck, who is recovering from a fractured leg (fibula).


It is just reward for Sithole, who has been in good form for the Sharks in the Currie Cup so far.


In the forwards, Juan Schoeman continues at loosehead prop as Dale Chadwick is out of the mix again this weekend. He was named to start last weekend but was a late withdrawal before the Bulls clash, with Schoeman starting in the number one jumper.


Once again, Garth April does not feature on the team list as the in-form Inny Radebe keeps him out of the flyhalf berth. Rhyno Smith provides cover for Radebe and fullback Curwin Bosch from the bench.


The Sharks travel to Cape Town as the log-leaders and will be fairly confident having ground out a tightly fought win over the Bulls last weekend.


Kickoff on Saturday is at 17h05.
