After a string of impressive performances in the Currie Cup, 20-year-old lock Corne Rahl gets a start in the second row. Rahl made his URC debut earlier in the season against Connacht. He comes in for Jeandre Labuschagne, who plays off the bench.

The Sharks also lost skipper Siya Kolisi (knee) and flyhalf Curwin Bosch (rib) to injuries in the Munster game.

James Venter replaces Kolisi in the No 6 jersey, while Boeta Chamberlain moves from fullback to flyhalf in place of Bosch. Aphelele Fassi takes the No 15 jersey from Chamberlain.

In another change out wide, Marnus Potgieter replaces Werner Kok at right wing.

With Kolisi out, Bok centre Lukhanyo Am will wear the captain's armband on Saturday.

Leinster, who topped the log in convincing fashion, are heavy favourites to beat the eighth-placed Sharks.
