JADEN Hendrikse goes from winning the Rugby Championship with South Africa to taking on the Dragons with the Sharks at Rodney Parade.

The scrum-half started for the Springboks in their title-securing win against Argentina in Mbombela last weekend.

He has flown to Europe to join brother Jordan in the Sharks XV to face the Dragons in the United Rugby Championship on Saturday (kick-off 5.15pm).

The Sharks, who were hit by a stunning Connacht fight back in Galway last Saturday, have two sets of siblings in the side with the Tshituka brothers, captain Vincent and Emmanuel, both playing in the back row.

Jaden Hendrikse is the only change to the starting line-up with the Sharks profiting from a week of preparation after flying from Ireland to Wales.

“We’ve had our first full week in quite a long time to prepare for this game, and that’s lekker because we’re nice and settled,” said forwards coach Warren Whiteley.

“The Dragons gave Leinster a good go last week and beat Ospreys in the first round, so they’re a quality side, particularly at home, and they’ll be determined to get a victory there, so we know what we’re up against.

“But we’re focusing on bettering our game, on improving the execution of our game model.”

Sharks: Jordan Hendrikse; Eduan Keyter, Jurenzo Julius, Andre Esterhuizen, Ethan Hooker; Siya Masuku, Jaden Hendrikse; Ntuthuko Mchunu, Dylan Richardson, Ruan Dreyer, Jason Jenkins, Gerbrandt Grobler, James Venter, Vincent Tshituka (captain), Manu Tshituka.
