Jaden at 10 in Glasgow

Deon Slabbert will start at lock for the Sharks (even though he was not named in the official squad) along new signing Marvin Orie. Jaden Hendrikse will start at 10 with another new signing Edwill van der Merwe at 14. Jean Smith may get some game time later in the game against his father’s team. There is no scrumhalf cover on the bench as the Sharks have two scrumhalves starting.

Even with all the injuries the Sharks have managed to put together a fairly decent team, but it will be a tough ask in Scotland against Scotland’s best URC team.
