Another Sharks forward heads home

Wian Vosloo has a possible cheekbone fracture and will be returning home for scans.

Philip van der Walt will join the team to replace Vosloo.

The Sharks are already without Jacques Vermeulen who is returning home after receiving a two-week suspension for foul play (diving into the ruck) during the match against the Rebels.

The Sharks only have one win from their five games played so far and that was against the Sunwolves.

They have also lost both of their matches on tour so far after going down 17-24 to the Brumbies in Round Five before being hammered 14-46 by the Rebels in Round Six.

After their match against the Blues, the Sharks will finish their tour against the Hurricanes in Wellington.
