Sharks Director of Rugby Gary Gold has announced his team for their Super Rugby clash against the Stormers at Newlands on Saturday (17:15 kick-off).
Gold has made no changes to the 23-man team that beat the Jaguares 19-15 at Kings Park last weekend.
A much anticipated battle of brothers between the loose-forward twins Jean-Luc and Daniel representing the Sharks, and their older brother, flyhalf Robert for the Stormers, will not materialise after the latter picked up an injury in his team’s defeat of the Cheetahs last week.
But there will be battles aplenty in this much-anticipated clash between two sides who have won their opening fixtures and are currently fighting it out for top honours.
