Curwin Bosch to start at 15 for Sharks

Sharks head coach Robert du Preez has made several changes to his starting XV for Saturday's Super Rugby encounter with the Sunwolves in Durban.

Curwin Bosch gets a start at full-back with Lwazi Mvovo shifting to the bench after two starts. 

In other backline changes, Sbu Nkosi moves from left to right wing, where he replaces Kobus van Dyk, while Makazole Mapimpi comes in to the run-on side to wear the number 11 jersey.

In the forwards, Tera Mtembu takes over from Keegan Daniel while Jacques Vermeulen shifts from the blindside to openside flank, in place of Tyler Paul, with Wian Vosloo packing down on the other side of the scrum in his debut for the Sharks.

The final changes are in the front row where Akker van der Merwe and Chiliboy Ralepelle have both been bracketed to start at hooker with a final decision to be made closer to the game's kick off while John-Hubert Meyer replaces Thomas du Toit at tighthead prop.
