Bo(k/mb) squad starts against Ulster

LATEST: The game has been postponed due to entire Ulster squad down with E-coli

Sean Everrit will start all his available Boks against Ulster with Kerron van Vuuren, Ntuthuko Mchunu and Anthony Volmink moving down to the bench. Dylan Richardson drops out of the squad and is replaced by James Venter.

The Sharks showed some really good skills and team play on attack. There was the one weak moment in defense when the Warriors 7 exposed the poor defensive alignment around a ruck but in general the defense showed some improvements from the game before. Eben and Reniel ruled the lineouts, and the Sharks scrum demolished the Warriors later in the second half (after the teams had parity for the first half).

If the Sharks can replicate this level of play with more improvement in defense, they should be able to take this game at home.
