Sharks coach Etienne Fynn has made three changes to his team for Wednesday’s trip to Kimberley to face Griquas in the Currie Cup.

There are two changes at the back for the Durbanites, with Jeremy Ward handing his No 13 jersey to Marnus Potgieter and shifting inside to replace Ethan Fisher. In another positional switch, Yaw Penxe takes over from Jordan Chait at fullback with Lloyd Koster slotting into the right wing vacancy.

Dylan Richardson replacing Thembelani Bholi at blindside flank is the only change to the pack, while U20s Bradley Davids and Jean Smith have earned call-ups and will look to feature off the bench.

In Round 1, the Sharks came out 24-23 victors against Griquas at Kings Park. Three points separate the two teams on the log, with the Sharks in third place while Griquas occupy fourth position.
