Sharks team to face Edinburgh

For the first time in six months John Plumtree was able to select his strongest possible side to face Edinburgh in Scotland on Friday evening.

The coach selected all four of the retuning Springbok players in the team.

This side is going to have to pull out all the stops against the high-riding Edinburgh side who last week secured a home EPCR Challenge Cup semi-final clash with Bath, after defeating the Vodacom Bulls in last week’s quarter-final.

Match officials for the game is: Andrew Brace (Referee), Mike Adamson & Jonny Perriam (Assistant Referees) and Brian McNeice (TMO).
