Siya Kolisi at eighthman for Sharks in bockbuster clash against Munster

Head coach John Plumtree has rejigged his loose forward trio, shifting Springbok captain Siya Kolisi to eighthman, with Phepsi Buthelezi playing off the bench this week and James Venter coming into the starting line-up at flank, joined by Vincent Tshituka, with Emmanuel Tshituka dropping out.

Grant Williams comes in for Jaden Hendrikse at scrumhalf, the pair swapping jerseys for the final change to the starting XV.

After defeating the reigning champions, this week it's the turn of Irish giants Munster who visit Kings Park off the back of a 34-19 loss to the Stormers in Cape Town in their first tour match last week.

For Sharks fullback Aphelele Fassi, it's all about the twin aim of stopping their opponents while implementing their game plan on the Irish.

"We know that Munster is a quality side with a lot of internationals who want to play a quick controlled game. We've done our review and have plans on how we want to stop them as well as implement our game and create opportunities for ourselves as well."

Saturday's clash kicks off at 4pm. Attending fans can expect a host of entertainment both on and off the field.
