Warren Whiteley and Aphiwe Dyantyi return for the Golden Lions when they take on the Sharks in Saturday’s Currie Cup semi-final in Durban.
Fellow Springboks Malcolm Marx and Franco Mostert are still being rested. Whiteley won’t captain the side as scrum-half Nic Groom retains the armband.
Whiteley’s return sees Hajcivah Dayimani drop to the bench, but he is sure to make an impact later in the game with his pace. Hooker Corne Fourie, however, is unavailable.
