The Sharks have made three changes to their starting lineup as they travel to Bloemfontein to face the Cheetahs in their second preparation match.
Thaakir Abrahams, Jordan Chait and John-Hubert Meyer all get the nod in a side mixed with youngsters, fringe players and those returning from injury in need of game time.
As a result, Michael Kumbirai, Manie Libbok and Werner Kok all shift to the bench which also features former Springbok U20 scrumhalf Jaden Hendrikse.
Jeremy Ward will continue to lead the side in the absence of regular captain Lukhanyo Am.
