Team for SA Shield “final”

The Sharks still have a chance to win the SA Shield (as pointed out by QuickDraw wins are considered ahead of points difference – so the Sharks just need a win)- that is if they could be bothered to show up (mentally) on Saturday.

Ox Nche, Vincent Kock, Emile van Heerden and Siya Kolisi should add some power to the pack. Henry Immelman will make his Sharks URC debut at fullback in place of Jordan Hendrikse who moves to flyhalf (Siya Masuke injured).
