NEWS: You would've been excused if you thought it was April Fool's Day when you saw the latest post by the Sharks on Thursday welcoming a new face into their midst.

The Sharks shared a video where the team welcomed a very familiar face in Durban - 34-year-old Stormer Scarra Ntubeni.

Among those that welcomed him was longtime friend and former Stormer teammate, Springbok captain Siya Kolisi.

The Sharks have confirmed that Ntubeni is on loan, providing cover at hooker for the next couple of weeks due to injuries to Fez Mbatha and Dylan Richardson.

Ntubeni has been struggling with quite a few injuries this season and has only made five appearances for the Capetonians.

The one-Test Springbok has also won three Currie Cup titles with Western Province (2012, 2014 and 2017) and made 101 appearances for the Stormers.
