Springboks Legend Eben Etzebeth To Captain Sharks In United Rugby Championship Clash Against Edinburgh

Springbok talisman Eben Etzebeth is not only back for the Sharks, but will captain them in their United Rugby Championship match in Edinburgh on Friday night 8.35pm kick-off.

It will be Etzebeths first rugby since December 7 last year, when he suffered a concussion against the Exeter Chiefs in Durban.

The Boks most capped player leads a powerful Sharks side, and it is the strongest coach John Plumtree has been able to select for six months.

Plumtree also welcomes back Boks Lukhanyo Am and Aphelele Fassi to the starting line-up and Grant Williams to the bench.

The squad is back to full strength for the first time since the game against Glasgow, which is good, that was a long time ago, and hopefully we will keep all the bodies nice and healthy in the build-up to the finals, said Plumtree on the eve of the match.
