Both teams come into this game with a point to prove. The Sharks Under 19s opened their account against the Blue Bulls youngsters in a tough encounter that they lost 15-25 last week but gave a brave effort. The Griffons have played three matches and to date have yet to register a win.
Their opening match resulted in a 42-3 defeat to the Leopards, followed by a 71-5 loss to the Blue Bulls. They gave a much-improved performance last week, giving the Free Staters a run for their money before going down 35-40.
This is their third away game with only one match played in their home town of Welkom – last week's game against Free State.
The Sharks Under 19s are at The Absa Stadium Durban for the second consecutive week and will be looking to take maximum advantage out of playing at home. In this tough competition, picking up as many points as possible is going to be crucial, especially at home.
There are just two changes for Sean Everitt's side, Kieran Goss in for Kyle Wilkenson on the wing while amongst the forwards, last week's captain, Mike Williams is out, replaced by Addo Wessels.
