France captain Antoine Dupont looks set to face the cream of the scrumhalves of the Hollywoodbets Sharks on Saturday when Stade Toulousain travels to Durban for a Round Three Investec Champions Cup fixture at 17:15 (SA Time).
Toulouse rested several French stars including Dupont this weekend in their 19-22 loss against La Rochelle in a French Top 14, which suggests that Dupont, as well as Thomas Ramos, Peato Mauvaka, Emmanuel Meafou, Francois Cros, and Romain Ntamack, could all travel to Durban.
It will be the first time that Jayden Hendrikse and Grant Williams will face the French hero as they are both expected to be included in the Sharks team.
Toulouse is currently unbeaten in Pool 1 of the Investec Champions Cup and a win in Durban will secure them a place in the playoffs while the Durban-based Sharks need a win to stay in the hunt.
