Am, a hero of the Boks' 2029 Rugby World Cup final triumph, last ran out in the green and gold against England in November. Injuries hampered his United Rugby Championship season with the Sharks.
Now, Saracens have come down south for preseason training and Am has been named on the bench for the exhibition match that will serve as the curtain raiser for the Sharks Currie Cup clash against the Pumas.
Joining Am in the lineup is former Leinster star Jason Jenkins, captained by the tireless Tino Mavesere.
Meanwhile, the Sharks XV facing the Pumas have several stars, including Bok scrumhalf Jaden Henrikse and the newly capped Vincent Tshituka.
