Boks back for Cardiff

The Sharks Boks have rejoined the squad after being left at home for the Challenge Cup. JPP has decided to again select Ox Nche and Thomas du Toit on the bench. Selecting Ox on the bench has back fired against Australia and against the Stormers. Hopefully it will be third time lucky for the Sharks. That said the reserve front row scrummed very well against the heavier Lyon pack. Jordan Hendrikse has picked up an injury against Lyon – so Gianni Lombard will have to run the show from 10.

The Sharks beat Cardiff in both of their previous encounters (home and away). This is the easier away game on this tour – the Sharks have never beaten Munster in Ireland. They will want to come away with at least 4 log points from Wales.
