The Sharks will welcome back Jaden Hendrikse, Vincent Koch and Siya Kolisi, but unfortunately there is still no sign of the other big guns such as Andre Esterhuizen, Eben Etzebeth (must be a serious worry for Rassie by now) and Ox Nche.

(more…)The Sharks will be missing 7 Boks when taking on the Bulls at Loftus on Saturday. I am not exactly sure why Jaden Hendrikse needs a rest as he has not really played a lot over the last year.
I am especially concerned for the scrums where Wilco Louw and Gerhard Steenkamp have been destroying opposition scrums at will. Ntuthuko Mchunu has improved of late but he and Trevor is going to have a real tough battle.
(more…)The Sharks have now also lost Vincent Koch, Jordan Hendrikse and Makazole Mapimpi due to failing HIA tests. This is partially offset by James Venter, Grant Williams and Lukhanyo Am returning to the squad. Eben is unfortunately still not available.
It is going to be a tough two weeks for the Sharks. The players need to keep showing the commitment they have so far but the decision making needs to improve drastically. Some of the tactics also need a bit of a rethink.
