The Sharks have misplaced three gamers to harm after their round of 16 conflict in opposition to Munster final weekend and, in consequence, Hyron Andrews (lock), Grant Williams (scrumhalf) and Jeandre Labuschagne (alternative unfastened ahead) will change Eben Etzebeth, Jaden Hendrikse and Emile van Heerden respectively.

Meanwhile, the Stormers are with out Deon Fourie, who scored two tries in opposition to Harlequins final weekend. The Springbok flanker has been dominated out with a eyesocket fracture and his place is taken by Junior Pokomela, whereas Marcel Theunissen will begin behind the scrum, with Hacjivah Dayimani set to make an influence from the replacements bench.
Ruhan Nel will probably be making his fiftieth look for the Stormers.
