Ward gets nod for Sharks

The Sharks have named Jeremy Ward at inside centre in place of the suspended Andre Esterhuizen ahead of facing the Jaguares this weekend.

Odwa Ndungane is on the right wing while Michael Claassens comes in for Cobus Reinach at scrum-half for the fixture at Vélez Sarsfield.

Meanwhile, Ruan Botha replaces Etienne Oosthuizen at lock while Jean-Luc du Preez returns on the flank, taking the place of Tera Mtembu.
