Sharks to face Edinburgh

Sharks to face Edinburgh

In what can only be seen as the new norm, the Cell C Sharks team to face Edinburgh in Scotland on Saturday evening was announced today.

The mandatory rest period for Bok players has forced the Sharks coaches to make changes to the starting team due to the unavailability of Eben Etzebeth, Siya Kolisi, Jaden Hendrikse and Lukhanyo Am. Hyron Andrews, James Venter, Grant Williams and Francois Venter steps into the starting line up to replace them. The other change will see Henco Venter replace Vincent Tshituka.

A bit of “good” news is that the Edinburgh team also lost some players to the Scottish camp ahead of the start of the Six Nations. This game will thus be a good indication of the relative “reserve power” of both temas.

Saturday’s kick-off is at 19H15.
