Siya starts for Bok-powered Sharks

Thomas du Toit will lead a Sharks XV bolstered by several Springboks, including skipper Siya Kolisi, when they host Ulster on Saturday.

Sean Everitt has had no hesitation in starting Siya Kolisi, as well as prop Ox Nche, hooker Bongi Mbonambi and wing Makazole Mapimpi, after all played off the bench in a bonus-point win over Glasgow Warriors last week.

Nche comes in for Ntuthuko Mchunu while Mbonambi swaps jerseys with Kerron van Vuuren, with Kolisi taking over from Dylan Richardson among the changes in the forwards.

Mapimpi replaces Anthony Volmink in the final change to the starting line-up.

Sharks – 15 Aphelele Fassi, 14 Werner Kok, 13 Marnus Potgieter, 12 Ben Tapuai, 11 Makazole Mapimpi, 10 Boeta Chamberlain, 9 Jaden Hendrikse, 8 Phepsi Buthelezi, 7 Vincent Tshituka, 6 Siya Kolisi, 5 Hyron Andrews, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Thomas du Toit (c), 2 Bongi Mbonambi, 1 Ox Nche.
Subs: 16 Kerron van Vuuren, 17 Ntuthuko Mchunu, 18 Carlu Sadie, 19 Reniel Hugo, 20 James Venter, 21 Sikhumbuzo Notshe, 22 Cameron Wright, 23 Anthony Volmink.
