Cape Town - Sharks loose forward Marcell Coetzee has returned home to Durban following a tour-ending injury suffered in his teams' 22-16 win over the Melbourne Rebels last Friday.

According to the Sharks' Facebook page, Jacques Botes has been drafted in as a replacement for the remainder of the tour.
