Team for Lions

The Sharks (with a very small mathematical chance of making the top 4 on 10 log points) will face the Lions (13 log points) in Pietermaritzburg on Friday night. Hopefully the coaches have worked on the scrum, lineout and kicking as the Sharks were really poor in all these departments against the Griquas. Slabbert coming back into the team should at least improve the lineout.
