Ox Nche will return to start for the Sharks in their Vodacom United Rugby Championship match against Edinburgh in Durban on Saturday evening, but the home side will be without the injured Aphelele Fassi.
A win over the fifth-placed Edinburgh would see the Sharks leap-frog the Scottish outfit and take them to within one victory of the top four – all of whom have played an extra game.
As expected after a run of such good form, Sharks head coach Sean Everitt has largely stuck with the same starting lineup as last week aside from two changes. The second change comes at fullback as Fassi has been ruled out of the match after suffering an ankle injury against Zebre. He is replaced in the starting lineup by Anthony Volmink.
