Jaco at 15 for Loftus
Mapimpi is back to face the Bulls with Jaco Williams (no Aphelele Fassi) at 15. Jurenzo Julius (no Ethan Hooker) is partnering Andre Esterhuizen in a new centre combination.
Ox Nche and Vincent Koch will add some needed scrum power for the Sharks but Bongi Mbonambi is also still missing. Tino Mavesere, Vincent Tshituka and Phepsi Buthelezi forms a decent loose trio.
The Sharks could not manage is single log point from last weeks game at Ellis Park. One would always want a win against the Bulls, but they need to come away with at least one log point. The Bulls did not look to flash against Boland last week, but a couple of the Sharks will also be fairly rusty.
