New Zealand could face two-time World Cup legend Ma’a Nonu in the second game of their tour of South Africa
Watch the Sharks take on New Zealand as Dave Rennie’s tourists look to make it two wins from two in their opener Rugby’s biggest rival campaign. The All Blacks won their first match 38-21 against the Stormers and now their first tour of South Africa in three decades takes them to Durban.
Rennie decided to reshuffle his pack, selecting a completely changed starting XV as he prepares for the eagerly awaited first Test against the Springboks. That he can welcome back experienced names like Ethan de Groot, Jordie Barrett and Damian McKenzie (as well as rookies like Wallace Sititi and Ruben Love) speaks volumes for the resources at his disposal. Back row Luke Jacobson captain for the first time.
The Sharks are missing their Springboks stars, with the likes of it Eben Etzebeth, Siya Kolisi, and André Esterhuizen all on duty Race Erasmus‘s side. However, there are still some big names in head coach JP Pietersen’s squad, including stalwart Vincent Koch and bonafide All Blacks legend – having recently joined the Sharks, 44-year-old two-time World Cup winner Ma’a Nonu is in line to face his former side from the bench.
