Radebe at 10 for Sharks

Inny Radebe will start at flyhalf when the Sharks take on Griquas in Durban this Friday, with Curwin Bosch shifting to fullback.

Odwa Ndungane, who started at fullback last weekend, is carrying a hamstring strain and has therefore been bracketed on the bench.

In other changes to the starting lineup, Stefan Ungerer rotates in for Michael Claassens at scrumhalf, while an injury to Jean-Luc du Preez has called for a reshuffle in the loose trio. Tera Mtembu comes in at No 8, with Philip van der Walt shifting to flank.

In the front row, Thomas du Toit starts at tighthead prop in place of Lourens Adriaanse, who has been called up to the Boks.

Elsewhere, Liam Hendricks and Elgar Watts could make their debut for Griquas in the Currie Cup after being named on the bench. The duo played for the Kings in Super Rugby.
