Sharks unveil their best XV
Du Preez named an unchanged team from the side that beat the Chiefs last week – for Friday's outing in Buenos Aires, against the Argentinian outfit.
The Sharks will take confidence and momentum out of last week's performance.
The coach, Du Preez, stated the obvious when he said the Jaguares side is filled with internationals, with the Argentineans using Super Rugby to give their national team plenty of practice.
The Jaguares have been in outstanding form lately, their 54-24 victory over the Bulls last weekend another indication that they are serious contenders to top the South African conference.
The Sharks have to win all their remaining matches if they are to have a chance of contesting the play-offs.
