Everitt has named an unchanged 23-man squad from the one which beat the Jagiares 33-19 at Kings Park last weekend.

There was squad rotation on Sharks' recent Australasian tour to keep the players fresh, but Everitt was happy to name an unchanged line-up for this weekend's match.

"I'm very happy with the team's consistency, it's something that we all - players and management - spoke about and were quite open about what we want to achieve as far as that's concerned," the coach said via a press statement.

"The guys have put it together for six weeks in a row, they need to do it for another two and then we can have a break and go again."

The Sharks currently top the Super Rugby standings with five wins from six matches.

Saturday's clash at Kings Park is scheduled for 15:05.
