All four changes have been made in the pack with a return to the all Springbok front row.

Jannie du Plessis and Beast Mtawarira are back and will partner Bismarck in the front row.

Mouritz Botha is also back after an eye socket injury while the final change comes in at loose-forward where Renaldo Bothma comes in for Willem Alberts who is sidelined due to an injury.

Meanwhile, Jannie du Plessis believes the current Sharks side is still work in progress.

The Durban outfit have had some what of a slow start in this years Super Rugby campaign losing three of their four matches so far.
