Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Sharks flyhalf Curwin Bosch has been handed the captain’s armband for Saturday’s URC coastal derby against the Stormers in Cape Town.<\/p>\n

Director of rugby Neil Powell has made several changes to his team after last weekend’s 31-24 defeat to Ulster in Durban.<\/p>\n

The Sharks front row is completely re-jigged, with Dian Bleuler coming in for Ntuthuko Mchunu and Fez Mbatha and Hanro Jacobs taking over from Dan Jooste and Carlu Sadie respectively.<\/p>\n

In the second row, Reniel Hugo makes way for Emile van Heerden, with Henco Venter replacing Dylan Richardson and Sikhumbuzo Notshe starting at No 8 in place of last week’s skipper, Phepsi Buthelezi.<\/p>\n

Powell also made two changes in the backline, welcoming back a fit-again Aphelele Fassi. The Springbok back starts on the wing in place of Thaakir Abrahams as Boeta Chamberlain is retained at fullback.<\/p>\n

Marnus Potgieter has been moved to outside centre, where he will partner Rohan Janse van Rensburg. Francois Venter misses out.<\/p>\n

The Stormers are second on the URC standings on 54 points, 12 points behind leaders Leinster. The Sharks are seventh on 40 points.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s clash kicks off at 14:30.<\/p>\n
