The Sharks host New Zealand in Durban as the All Blacks continue their preparations for a challenging four-Test series against South Africa on what is known as Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry tour.

Dave Rennie’s side kicked off their tour with a hard-fought victory over the Stormers, but the team will showcase a new look as the head coach evaluates his options ahead of next Saturday’s first Test. Rennie aims for improved fluency in phase play from his revamped squad against another formidable team, which notably features one of New Zealand’s legends.

Ma’a Nonu, who has an impressive record of 103 All Blacks caps and two World Cup victories, continues to defy age at 44. The veteran centre is expected to make an appearance off the bench for the Sharks, who boast talented players like Vusi Moyo at fly half. Nonu will be eager to make an impact against such prestigious opponents at Kings Park.

Key highlights include:

• Sharks vs. New Zealand in Durban.
• All Blacks coming off a victory against the Stormers.
• Ma’a Nonu set to feature for the Sharks.
• Focus on team dynamics and phase play improvements.
