Overview
- The Sharks named 18-year-old Zekhethelo Siyaya at flyhalf for Saturday's United Rugby Championship match against Benetton at Kings Park in Durban.
- It will be his third senior game after two starts at fullback, with Jean Smith moving to the bench.
- Ox Nché and Vincent Koch return to the starting pack, Jurenzo Julius pairs with captain André Esterhuizen in midfield, and Siya Kolisi takes the No. 6 jersey.
- The switch follows injuries to flyhalves Siya Masuku and Jordan Hendrikse, and the squad also welcomes back 20-year-old fullback Jaco Williams from injury.
- The Sharks are out of play-off contention, and the fixture begins Kolisi's farewell in Durban before a reported return to the Stormers.
