Bosch and No 8 Sikhumbuzo Notshe make welcome returns after lengthy absences, while Inny Radebe cracks the nod at fullback shortly after his return to the Sharks.

Centre Marius Louw will captain the team and partners Werner Kok in the midfield.

The inclusion of lock Reniel Hugo and prop Lourens Adriaanse give much-needed experience to an otherwise relatively young tight five.

The Sharks also confirmed that new recruit Eduan Keyter suffered a long-term injury in their Currie Cup opener against Griquas.
