Sharks Make 2 Changes For Currie Cup Final At Ellis Park

The Sharks have named their team for Saturday's Currie Cup final against the Lions in Johannesburg.

Coach John Plumtree has largely stuck with the team that drew 40-40 after extra time with the Bulls in Pretoria , making just two changes.

Emmanuel Tshituka starts at No 8 in place of Phepsi Buthelezi, while Jurenzo Julius replaces Francois Venter at outside centre.

The Sharks advanced to the final because they scored more tries than the Bulls. The Durbanites are also on an eight-game winning streak.

Sharks team:

15 Jordan Hendrikse, 14 Eduan Keyter, 13 Jurenzo Julius, 12 Andre Esterhuizen, 11 Ethan Hooker, 10 Siya Masuku, 9 Bradley Davids, 8 Emmanuel Tshituka captain, 7 Vincent Tshituka, 6 James Venter, 5 Emile van Heerden, 4 Corne Rahl, 3 Hanro Jacobs, 2 Fez Mbatha, 1 Ntuthuko Mchunu
