There are several big-name stars in action in the local derby between the Sharks and Stormers in Durban on Saturday.
Sharks fans will hope their Boks-stacked team will live up to the hype against one of the most consistent teams in the competition.
It is also the first local derby of the 2024/25 season after the two local inter-franchise matches involving the four South African teams in round one were postponed.on Saturday after performing brilliantly for the Springboks in the position earlier in the season. A knee injury, however, cut short his debut season with the Boks, but he is now healthy again and will have plenty of interested observers following his performance on Saturday.
They will, however, be without Eben Etzebeth, who coach John Plumtree said this week was “just a little bit broken” after a demanding 2024, and Bongi Mbonambi, who has a family bereavement.
