The Pumas are sweating over the fitness of centre Shaun Venter, ahead of their Currie Cup encounter with the table-topping Sharks on Friday.
Venter, who was injured in the 27-26 win over the Leopards last week, has been bracketed with Tiaan Marx at outside centre for the Witbank encounter.
The starting XV - if Venter is passed fit, will show just one change from last week - Johan Jackson coming in at fullback for Nicky Kritzinger.
There are two changes to the bench - Siviwe Magaba and Sphiwe Sithole providing backline cover.
