The men from Durban are dealing with the fallout from their failed URC campaign after losing the Bulls at Loftus last Saturday courtesy of a late Chris Smith drop-goal.
The Sharks are looking to surge into the semi-final positions but sit a point outside the Currie Cup top four behind the Pumas in fourth before the start of this final regular-season round. The Pumas host Griquas on the same day, who are also looking to secure third place.
The Sharks also roped in URC squad members Kerron van Vuuren, who starts at No 2, at Reniel Hugo, Ben Tapuai and Boeta Chamberlain, who are on the bench.
