Lukhanyo Am will lead an exciting Sharks team in which Ox Nche, James Venter and Sikhumbuzo Notshe all make their club debuts.

The home team have a Springbok laden backline consisting of Springbok World Cup winners Makazole Mapimpi (left wing), Sbu Nkosi (right wing) and Am (outside centre), as well as fellow Springboks Andre Esterhuizen (inside centre) and Curwin Bosch (flyhalf).

The Bulls include former Springbok fly-half Morné Steyn, who last played for the Pretoria outfit in 2013 and is the only three-time Super Rugby champion that remains within the South African circuit. His duel with Bosch is bound to play a key role.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN BITCOINS ARE LOST OR STOLEN? Hire FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY.


Recovering stolen Bitcoin can feel like an insurmountable challenge, especially after falling victim to scams that promise high returns with little investment. My journey began with excitement when I first learned about Bitcoin mining pools. The idea of earning substantial profits from a modest investment was enticing. I was encouraged to invest $5,200, and soon found myself caught in a web of endless demands for more money to access my funds. As time went on, I paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars, believing that each payment would finally unlock my investments. However, the requests never ceased, and I soon realized I was trapped in a scam. The weight of losing $826,000 worth of Bitcoin was unbearable, and I felt utterly helpless. I reached out to authorities, but their responses were disheartening, leaving me feeling even more isolated in my struggle. In my desperation, I even went to pray, seeking guidance and hope in what felt like a hopeless situation. I poured my heart out, asking for a sign or a way to recover my lost funds. It was during this time of reflection that I began searching for solutions online, hoping to find a way to recover my investments. That’s when I stumbled upon FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY. At first, I was cynical. After all, I had already been deceived so many times. However, I decided to reach out and share my story. The team at FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY was understanding and compassionate, assuring me they had the expertise to help me recover my stolen Bitcoin. Within hours of providing them with the necessary information, I began to see progress. They guided me through the recovery process, keeping me informed every step of the way. It was surreal to watch as they worked diligently to trace my funds and navigate the complexities of the blockchain. To my astonishment, I received confirmation that my Bitcoin had been successfully recovered. The relief and joy I felt were indescribable. I had almost given up hope, but FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY proved to be the lifeline I desperately needed. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I urge you to seek help from the Reputable team at FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY, The solution Company.
