Cell C Sharks UK touring squad
The Cell C Sharks has named a strong 28-man touring squad, who will travel tonight to London for their Heineken Champions Cup last pool match against Harlequins on Saturday.
Bongi Mbonambi and Boeta Chamberlain is not part of the touring squad, as they did not recover from the injures they sustained during the victory against Bordeaux.
Curwin Bosch, a late withdrawal from that game, has been passed fit and is included in the touring squad. Also included in the travel group are Thaakir Abrahams, Grant Williams, Fez Mbatha, Hanru Jacobs and Reniel Hugo.
Although Mapimpi was cited for a possible eye gouging incident, he is also included in the touring squad. His hearing will be tomorrow and the Independent Disciplinary Committee will be Anthony Davis (England), Leon Lloyd (England) and Donal Courtney (Ireland). Really hoping for the best and a fair hearing. Will post an update as soon as the results of the hearing is available.
