Sharks coach John Plumtree has named an unchanged side to be lead out by Keegan Daniel against the Pumas in Nelspruit on Friday.
The team that did duty during the 35-16 triumph over the Blue Bulls last weekend will be searching for a similar performance against the Pumas, who gave the Golden Lions a close run at Coca-Cola Park.
There were some question marks surrounding the centre pairing of Meyer Bosman and Marius Joubert, who need to make the most of their midfield partnership if they wish to silence their critics.
The Durban side will rely on key playmaker Freddie Michalak once again, with the French pivot capable of turning a game on its head in an instant.
There could be a welcome return on the bench for prop Eugene van Staden, who was a late withdrawal last weekend through injury. The big front row has been bracketed with Julian Redelinghuys for a place on the pine.
Sharks: 15 Stefan Terblanche, 14 Mark Richards, 13 Marius Joubert, 12 Meyer Bosman, 11 Louis Ludik, 10 Frederic Michalak, 9 Ross Cronje, 8 Keegan Daniel (captain), 7 Marcell Coetzee, 6 Jacques Botes, 5 Ross Skeate, 4 Anton Bresler, 3 Wiehahn Herbst, 2 Craig Burden, 1 Dale Chadwick.
Replacements: 16 Kyle Cooper, 17 Julian Redelinghuys / Eugene van Staden, 18 Jan Andre Marais, 19 Francois Kleinhans, 20 Jacobus Reinach, 21 Jacques-Louis Potgieter, 22 Sibusiso Sithole.
Date: Friday, July 22
Venue: Mbombela Stadium, Nelspruit
Kick-off: 19.00 (17.00 GMT)
Referee: Mark Lawrence
Assistant referees: Joey Salmans, Johan Greeff
