Pretoria - Bulls coach Pote Human has named his team for Saturday's Super Rugby clash against the Sharks at Loftus Versfeld.

Human has made a few changes to the team that beat the Lions 30-12 in Johannesburg last weekend.

There is a solitary change in the backline, with Ivan van Zyl replacing Embrose Papier at scrumhalf.

Up front, Tim Agaba comes into the loose trio, taking the No 7 jersey from Hanro Liebenberg, who moves to lock in place of Eli Snyman.

Jannes Kirsten also comes into the loose trio, taking the No 6 jersey from Ruan Steenkamp.

With Liebenberg in the No 4 jersey, Jason Jenkins moves into the No 5 jersey.

Human says the Bulls are keen to reproduce the form they showed in the opening match at Loftus Versfeld, when they beat the Stormers 40-3.



"We did not play well the next weekend in Argentina, but delivered a much better effort last weekend, so I am confident that we will be up for this one as well. The local derbies certainly brings out the best in our teams, so this will be a physical, hard-fought affair again."

Kick-off is at 17:15 on Saturday.
