# Rugby: Former first team captain of Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool in Pretoria, centre Janco Purchase, will be one of three players in the starting team to make their Currie Cup debuts for the Sharks on Saturday. The others are flank Sphephelo Mbonambi and wing Khuthi Rasivhaga. They face the Lions at Ellis Park in Johannesburg. Nick Hatton will lead the team again. Head coach JP Pietersen understands the pressure that lies ahead, but the former Sharks and Springbok star has exhorted his charges to stand up and fight.
