Welcome Back Jean-Luc<\/a>: <\/p>\n

Jean-Luc du Preez has made a welcome return to rugby after a long-term injury and has been named on the bench for the Cell C Sharks\u2019 Vodacom Super Rugby clash with the Jaguares at JONSSON KINGS PARK on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Du Preez spent the latter stages of the 2018 season at Sale Sharks on loan where he picked up a groin injury and returned to Durban<\/a> for recovery and now takes his place in the matchday 23 in one of a handful of changes made by head coach Robert du Preez.<\/p>\n

With Springbok Rugby World Cup workloads in mind and the stated commitment to rotate players during the competition, Beast Mtawarira, Coenie Oosthuizen and Jacques Vermeulen have all been rested for this match.<\/p>\n

This means two changes in the front row, with Juan Schoeman and Thomas du Toit packing down in the front row on either side of Kerron van Vuuren who starts his second match for the Cell C Sharks.<\/p>\n

The other change to the starting line-up sees Philip van der Walt in for Vermeulen at flank with the backline remaining intact from last week.<\/p>\n

Makazole Mapimpi, scorer of two tries in last weekend\u2019s exhilarating 42-5 victory over the Emirates Lions, admits that they\u2019re in for a big clash against a strong side.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re an international team, a good side and we know it\u2019s going to be tough. We need to back up our victory over the Lions with another one this week, especially as we want to have a good record in Durban<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve spoken about winning our home games, we\u2019ve lost twice at home and it\u2019s important not to lose again, especially after such a good win last week.\u201d<\/p>\n
