Sharks coach Sean Everitt has named his team for Wednesday's clash against the British & Irish Lions in Johannesburg. Everitt has made only one change to the starting XV which lost 32-31 to Western Province in a Currie Cup match in Cape Town last week. Regular Currie Cup skipper Phepsi Buthelezi returns after missing last week's game with a mild concussion. Not many of our players in the [Currie Cup] squad have international experience and that includes Super Rugby, so yes, this is a big challenge. "We have only played two games in the Currie Cup, but our group has been together for some time and they’re looking forward to the challenge."
