Junior Bok Star Handed Sharks No. 10 Shirt For Zebre Clash

The Hollywoodbets Sharks host Zebre at Kings Park this Saturday to conclude their 2026 URC campaign, with coach JP Pietersen handing a professional debut to Junior Bok sensation Vusi Moyo at flyhalf amidst several injury-enforced backline shifts.

Head coach JP Pietersen has largely retained the side that dismantled Zebre’s Italian counterparts, Benetton, last week, keeping the forward pack unchanged while making a few adjustments to the backline.

Vusi Moyo, fresh from the Junior Boks’ unbeaten run and title-winning campaign in SANZAR’s Under-20 Rugby Championship, makes his URC debut at flyhalf. Zekhethelo Siyaya shifts back to fullback, the position he occupied over the previous two weeks, while Litelihle Bester replaces the injured Makazole Mapimpi, who suffered two heavy knocks in last week’s 46-7 victory.

Edwill van der Merwe also misses the match through injury, with Jaco Williams promoted to the starting line-up and Le Roux Malan taking his place on the bench. Deon Slabbert also comes into the matchday squad, replacing Corne Rahl in the number 19 jersey.

This match is about building on last week’s commanding performance, demonstrating the team’s passion for and commitment to the Black & White jersey, and delivering a fitting send-off to the competition.

Above all, however, it is an opportunity to thank the fans for their unwavering support throughout the season and to show how much the team values the energy and passion they bring.
