the Sharks have included Springbok World Cup winning winger Sbu Nkosi in their starting lineup for Saturday Super Rugby Unlocked crash against Bulls at Loftus.
Nkosi will replace JP Pietersen.
Hooker Kerron van Vuuren and forward Henco Venter were also out of shape to play, but were named to come off the bench in their first games since Super Rugby’s suspension.
Also named to the bench is Yaw Penxe, who was last seen in the Springbok Green v Gold match.
The 23-year-old from Queenstown in the Eastern Cape rose to fame with the Southern Kings before starring in the Green team’s 25-9 win over the Gold in early October and arrived in Durban on loan.
