Sharks coach John Plumtree has been able to name an unchanged Super Rugby team to face the Southern Kings in Port Elizabeth.

For the third week running the Sharks will field an unchanged squad of 22 players as they are still unbeaten.

Plumtree said that as the Sharks are unbeaten and there are no injury concerns, currently he has no plans to start rotating players yet.

"We're only at round three, there are two more games after the Kings before we have a bye and we'll then have an opportunity to freshen everyone up which will be good."

While Plmutree was obviously pleased to have beaten the Stormers at home last weekend he said that he would like to see the Sharks playing a game which is more their style which translates to running rugby.

"Hopefully we'll get better, players will make good decisions and we'll maintain ball for long periods of time. That will give guys like JP Pietersen, Lwazi Mvovo and the rest of our backs more ball, more fast ball. "

"That's certainly what Pat Lambie wants because it's obviously not ideal for him to get slow ball, it makes it pretty hard to run off, we just have to make sure we will get better."
