The Sharks team named to take on the Vodacom Bulls in Saturday’s Vodacom United Rugby Championship quarter-final clash in Pretoria shows just one change from the previous clash two weeks ago.

Sean Everitt has largely stuck with the team that did duty against Ulster in Ireland, making just a single change to the Sharks pack.

TEAM: Botha return to haunt Sharks?

Le Roux Roets starts in Ruben van Heerden’s place in the second row with the remainder of the side retained for the clash at Loftus Versfeld.

Thomas du Toit continues in the Sharks captaincy, despite Lukhanyo Am retaining his place in midfield since returning from his stint in Japan.

Everitt has opted for a five-three split between forwards and backs on the bench, with experienced Australian centre Ben Tapuai offering extra support for the backs.
