With almost 50 test caps for South Africa to his name, Vincent Koch not only brings a vast amount of front-row experience to the Hollywoodbets Sharks, but is also returning to his province of birth. The 33-year-old was born in Empangeni, but domestically made a name for himself with the Blue Bulls, Pumas and Stormers, while he also boasts elaborate overseas experience having represented Saracens for six seasons, and on 110 occasions. Koch’s test debut for South Africa was against the All Blacks in Johannesburg on July 25, 2015.
