Four changes for Sharks vs Force (team sheet)

Sharks coach John Plumtree has made four changes to his side that lost to the Reds in Brisbane last week.

–          Jannie du Plessis starts inplace of Wiehahn Herbst at tighthead prop.

–          Pieter-Steph du Toit drops to the bench.

–          Anton Bresler starts at lock.

–          Willem Alberst wins his first start of the campaign.

–          Jean Deysel drops to the bench.

–          Odwa Ndungane replaces Piet Lindeque on the wing.

“They beat the Crusaders, they lost by one point to the Chiefs, the 2012 champs, and with those results, they have some belief, it’s going to be a tough game, They’re a side that’s clearly working very hard for each other and we know it is going to be a really tough task from our side”. said Plumtree.
