Standard published on

Vincent Tshituka will start as the Sharks have named a starting lineup packed with Springboks for the Champions Cup clash against Bordeaux in Durban on Saturday.

Sharks director of rugby Neil Powell has picked a powerful side to take on Union Bordeaux Bègles in Saturday’s return leg Champions Cup clash at Kings Park.

As expected, the Sharks have returned to the Springbok-laden side that defeated the Vodacom Bulls in the last home match, after utilising their squad in the away trip against Connacht last weekend.

Vincent Tshituka coming in for Henco Venter on the flank is the only change to the pack that did duty against the Vodacom Bulls, with Siya Kolisi leading the team out.

Amongst the backs, Jaden Hendrikse replaces Grant Williams at scrumhalf and Wallaby international Ben Tapuai returns at inside centre for Rohan Janse van Rensburg who will feature off the bench.
