Sbu Nkosi and Makazole Mapimpi have both been named in the Sharks starting lineup for their clash with the Jaguares in Durban on Saturday.

Nkosi returns to the Sharks team after missing the bulk of their overseas tour through injury. He replaces Madosh Tambwe, who drops to the bench.

Meanwhile, Mapimpi was rested in last weekend’s win over the Reds and comes in on the left wing.

There are two further changes among the forwards as the Sharks have called back loose forwards Tyler Paul and James Venter, who also sat out the game against the Reds.

Sharks – 15 Aphelele Fassi, 14 Sbu Nkosi, 13 Lukhanyo Am (c), 12 Andre Esterhuizen, 11 Makazole Mapimpi, 10 Curwin Bosch, 9 Louis Schreuder, 8 Sikhumbuzo Notshe, 7 Tyler Paul, 6 James Venter, 5 Hyron Andrews, 4 Ruben van Heerden, 3 Thomas du Toit, 2 Kerron van Vuuren, 1 Ox Nche.
Subs: 16 Craig Burden, 17 Juan Schoeman, 18 John-Hubert Meyer, 19 Le Roux Roets, 20 Henco Venter, 21 Sanele Nohamba, 22 Jeremy Ward, 23 Madosh Tambwe.
