Sharks make 2 changes for Currie Cup final, Bok lock Jenkins set for debut off bench

Coach John Plumtree has largely stuck with the team that drew 40-40 after extra time with the Bulls in Pretoria, making just two changes to the starting XV.

Emmanuel Tshituka starts at No 8 in place of Phepsi Buthelezi, while Jurenzo Julius replaces Francois Venter at outside centre.

The Sharks advanced to the final because they scored more tries than the Bulls. The Durbanites are also on an eight-game winning streak.

Meanwhile Springbok lock Jason Jenkins, who recently signed from Irish giants Leinster, is set to make his debut for the Sharks off the bench.

Sharks team: 15 Jordan Hendrikse, 14 Eduan Keyter, 13 Jurenzo Julius, 12 Andre Esterhuizen, 11 Ethan Hooker, 10 Siya Masuku, 9 Bradley Davids, 8 Emmanuel Tshituka (captain), 7 Vincent Tshituka, 6 James Venter, 5 Emile van Heerden, 4 Corne Rahl, 3 Hanro Jacobs, 2 Fez Mbatha, 1 Ntuthuko Mchunu Substitutes: 16 Dylan Richardson, 17 Trevor Nyakane, 18 Mawande Mdande, 19 Jason Jenkins, 20 Gerbrandt Grobler, 21 Tinotenda Mavesere, 22 Tian Meyer, 23 Lionel Cronje
