Tera Mtembu will lead a new-look Sharks team against the Kings this Saturday.
Mtembu takes over the captaincy from injured Pat Lambie, while youngster Benhard Janse van Rensburg comes in at flyhalf, with Curwin Bosch starting at fullback in place of Clement Poitrenaud, who has a groin strain.
The only other change among the backs sees Odwa Ndungane come in for Lwazi Mvovo on the wing.
Mtembu has a new loose-forward partner in Jacques Vermeulen, who takes over from the injured Philip van der Walt, while Thomas du Toit, Chiliboy Ralepelle and Lourens Adriaanse come into the front row.
