Siya Kolisi has recovered from a calf injury and is set to play in the Sharks' United Rugby Championship derby against the Stormers on Saturday. The Sharks, seeking a season sweep after their November win in Durban, announce several lineup changes, including Gelant starting at fullback and Jurenzo Julius at center. The Stormers, meanwhile, have a relatively unchanged squad, with Deon Fourie leading the team for the second consecutive week.

Playmaker Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu has recovered from a hip pointer suffered in last week’s bonus-point win over the Lions to retain his spot at inside centre. In changes to the Sharks backline, Ethan Hooker shifts from outside centre to the left wing to accommodate the absence of Makazole Mapimpi, with Jurenzo Julius starting at 13.
“Going down to Cape Town and beating the Stormers isn’t an easy task – it’s been a while since we won down there – but we’re looking forward to it. Both teams play a pretty expansive game and it should be entertaining to watch.
