The former Stormers prop Lee Marvin Mazibuko is a surprise starter in the Sharks' Currie Cup side that travels to the Lions for the tournament opener at Ellis Park on Saturday.
The 27-year-old returns to South Africa after a stint in France with Racing 92.
The Sharks team is captained by loose forward Nick Hatton, who featured prominently when the Sharks won the title last year, ironically in a final against the Lions.
Hatton and the Sharks return to the scene of the 'crime' with a youthful but determined side, and once more they are coached by former Springbok wing JP Pietersen.
'What a challenge for this young group to go up to Joburg, to test ourselves and get into the fight,' said Pietersen.
