Rahl to start in Dublin
Neil Powell has selected two youngsters in his squad for the game against Leinster. Corne Rahl will start at 4 lock, while Nevaldo Floors is on the bench. Marius Potgieter moves to wing in place of Werner Kok (presumed injured?). James Venter will replace Siya Kolisi as open side flank. Boeta Chamberlain will want to dictate from 10 with Aphelele Fassi starting at full back.
Leinster is peaking at the right time by smashing Toulouse at home last weekend. I just don’t think the Sharks will be able to pull off the surprise win in Dublin the Bulls managed last year, but I do hope they give a good account of themselves.
