Jaden Hendrikse and captain Lukhanyo Am will miss the big game at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on Friday.
The Sharks will be without Lukhanyo Am for the Challenge Cup final against Gloucester on Friday, but expect Eben Etzebeth, Ethan Hooker and Vincent Koch to be fit for the clash in London.
Hendrikse is still recovering from an injury he suffered against Scarlets in Llanelli last month, while Am was one of three Springboks – Eben Etzebeth and Vincent Koch the others – that limped off in the first half of the match against Benetton in Durban two weeks ago “It’s always a big loss to not have your national players and also your captain. Lukhanyo has been really good for us this season. In knock-out games, you want your senior players to be available. So it is a bit of a big loss for us.”
