The Sharks limited the changes for their second game at the NRL Auckland Nines.

After a win over the Titans and with a victory almost ensuring them a place in the competition quarter-finals, coach Shane Flanagan has opted to make just two changes for his teams’ second game against the Dragons.

The rain which has been sweeping in across Eden Park almost all day seems to have cleared somewhat, with dryer conditions likely to produce a more open contest.

The Sharks opponents the Dragons conceded two late tries in going down by 28-20 in their opening match of the tournament.
