Durban - Sharks Director of Rugby Gary Gold has named his team to tackle the Lions in a Super Rugby clash in Johannesburg on Saturday (17:05 kick-off).
Lock Marco Wentzel will captain the side which shows a number of changes to the one which lost 52-10 to the Crusaders last week.
The Sharks also welcome back two players from injury to bolster their ranks, with the fit-again Etienne Oosthuizen and Willem Alberts named on the bench.
