The Sharks may have a change at coach and captain when they host Ospreys on Friday with Thomas du Toit set to attend a disciplinary hearing for a red card.

Having sacked coach Sean Everitt in the wake of the loss to Cardiff, the Sharks must now wait to hear the fate of Du Toit who was sent off during South Africa’s victory against England at Twickenham on Saturday.

Du Toit was red-carded for contact to the head of England hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie.

The Sharks face Ospreys without Everitt, his tenure ending by “mutual agreement” on Monday evening, following the 35-0 loss to Cardiff.

Director of rugby Neil Powell has been placed in charge for the rest of the season.
