A new halfback pairing of Tito Bonilla at ten and Cameron Wright at scrumhalf will face the Bulls in Pretoria on Wednesday evening as the Sharks aim to regain the top spot in the Currie Cup.
The men from Durban had to relinquish their number one position to the Cheetahs, as the Free Staters’ points difference pushed them to the top after their massive win last weekend over the Lions.
Both these teams are still unbeaten in the Currie Cup while the Bulls have only one loss in their campaign.
Besides the changes at halfback, there is a new lock pairing of Emile van Heerden and Hyron Andrews while Marnus Potgieter moves to centre and Curwin Gertse gets a run at wing.
