The others are Lukhanyo Am, Sikhumbuzo Notshe, Madosh Tambwe, Kerron van Vuuren, Marius Louw, John-Hubert Meyer, Jaden Hendrikse and JJ van der Mescht.

In June it was revealed that Mapimpi was heading to Japan to join Johan Ackermann’s Red Hurricanes on a short-term deal.

The 30-year-old is then set to return to Durban in April 2021.

Holding onto Mapimpi's services is a big boost to the Sharks. Like Am, he was part of Rassie Erasmus' World Cup-winning squad in 2019.
