Bosch starts against WP

The Sharks have loaded the Currie Cup team with URC players to see if a last chance saloon win against WP can get the team into the Currie Cup semi-finals. Even a bonus point win against WP will only be enough should Pumas and Griquas draw the next game, or Griquas beat the Pumas, or the Pumas trounce the Griquas while denying them a bonus point and the Sharks winning score against WP combined with the Pumas winning score exceeds 61 points, or Pumas beat the Griquas by one point with no bonus point and the Sharks winning score exceeds 67 points.

Ox Nche, Thomas du Toit, Ntuthuko Mchunu, Bongi Mbonambi, Siya Kolisi, Jaden Hendrikse, Grant Williams, Lukhanyo Am, Aphelele Fassi and Makazole Mapimpi have all been invited to the Bok camp so could therefore not be available for this game.

I personally would have preferred Boeta Chamberlain getting the chance to start this match.
