Bosch back at 10 for Sharks

Published on

Curwin Bosch will start at flyhalf for the Sharks in one of two changes to the starting lineup for the Vodacom United Rugby Championship match against Benetton on Saturday.

Sharks head coach Sean Everitt has largely stuck with the same team that defeated the Vodacom Bulls in their last outing for Saturday’s 5:05pm clash, making just two changes to the starting lineup.

Ruben van Heerden comes in for Hyron Andrews (concussion) in the second row, opening the door for Le Roux Roets to come into the match-day 23 to play off the bench.

In the second change, Curwin Bosch starts at flyhalf, with Argentina international Tito Bonilla named among the replacements.

Following his form in the Currie Cup, scrumhalf Cameron Wright has been called up to the URC squad on the bench. He replaces Grant Williams, who is serving a suspension and did not tour.

Sharks – 15 Aphelele Fassi, 14 Sbu Nkosi, 13 Lukhanyo Am (c), 12 Marius Louw, 11 Makazole Mapimpi, 10 Curwin Bosch, 9 Jaden Hendrikse, 8 Phepsi Buthelezi, 7 Henco Venter, 6 Siya Kolisi, 5 Gerbrandt Grobler, 4 Ruben van Heerden, 3 Thomas du Toit, 2 Bongi Mbonambi, 1 Ox Nche.
Subs: 16 Kerron van Vuuren, 17 Ntuthuko Mchunu, 18 Khutha Mchunu, 19 Le Roux Roets, 20 Sikhumbuzo Notshe, 21 Cameron Wright, 22 Tito Bonilla, 23 Werner Kok.
