Steyn back for the Sharks
Updated | By Nondumiso Zakwe
Gold has been able to select his Springbok front row for the first time in six weeks to bolster the pack upfront, while also returning Francois Steyn and Renaldo Bothma back to the starting line-up.
The big, physical are players expected to play a big role on the weekend against the log-leaders.
Lwazi Mvovo has moved to fullback, a straight swap with Odwa Ndungane while Lionel Cronje wears the number 10 jersey, partnering Stefan Ungerer who gets his first start at scrumhalf.
