Overview
- Head coach JP Pietersen named Siyaya at No. 10 for Saturday's United Rugby Championship home game in Durban after two senior starts at fullback.
- The call follows injuries to regular flyhalves Jordan Hendrikse and Siya Masuku and gives the teenager a first chance to run the attack.
- Pietersen said he is planning ahead with Jean Smith set to leave, and he wants to learn whether Siyaya can cover flyhalf for the future.
- Siya Kolisi starts at flank as farewells begin, with Ox Nché and Vincent Koch restored to the front row and Jaco Williams returning at fullback.
- The Sharks are out of play-off contention with two rounds left, turning these fixtures into auditions that could set next season's pecking order at 10 and across the backline.
