Coach JPP has gone for continuity with two changes – Hakeem Kunene coming on for Aphelele Fassi (concussion) and Jordan Hendrikse starting with George Whitehead dropping to the bench.

(more…)JPP has selected a pretty strong team (on paper) for the game against Saracens. The backline is filled with attacking players – the challenge will be to get them to gel. Interestingly he has chosen Andre Esterhuizen to captain the side. I am really looking forward to seeing the combo of Andre and Ethan in action.
The pack should also be competitive with Bongi anchoring Jacobs and Ganyane, a decent lock pairing and a strong back row in Phepsi, Siya and Vincent. Hopefully Emile van Heerden’s luck will hold this time and he can actually finish a game without injury.
(more…)The Sharks have selected a team with a number of key players rested. Against a team like Toulouse this will result in a mismatch equivalent to Wales vs the Boks. Really nothing more to say about this game.
