The Sharks have named their team to face the Chiefs at Kings Park on Saturday with hooker Bismarck du Plessis returning to the starting line up.

Du Plessis had a number of niggles which caused him to miss the Blues game and restricted him to some time off the bench against the Hurricanes but he is now fit to face the Super Rugby leaders.

The team shows two more changes to the starting line up and both are in the forwards. Jacques Botes replaces Marcell Coetzee to win his 96th Super Rugby cap.

The only other change is a straight rotational swap between Willem Alberts and Jean Deysel. The Sharks have named five forwards on the bench so they are expecting a tough battle up front.
