I don't even want to try understand why Minnie and Deysel would get dropped after pretty decent performances. And to bring in penalty machine and one of the more lackluster locks out there in their stead just blows my mind.

Who's the penalty machine? That team doesn't look too bad to me. Agreed that Minnie had a decent game last week. Hopefully he can make an impact of the bench. Pity about Reinach, though.

Penalty machine - Keegan. He's off form at the moment and because of it he's playing stupid.

Eish. His try didn't inspire confidence?
I agree he isn't quite on song at the moment. But hey, it happens. The Crusaders dropped Dagg to the bench because he's not firing on all cylinders at the moment.

Afrikaners upset Sharks skipper
Cape Town - Sharks captain Keegan Daniel is reportedly unhappy that there are too many Afrikaners involved in Sharks rugby.
The Beeld website reports that this statement, apparently made recently by the Sharks skipper, has upset the majority of the players.
It has led to a divide in the Sharks team, who have lost their last five Super Rugby games. They are currently languishing at 11th spot on the overall Super Rugby log.
Only six players out of the 22-man squad which lost 32-17 to the Reds in Brisbane last week are not Afrikaans. They are Daniel, Lwazi Mvovo, Patrick Lambie, Kyle Cooper, Odwa Ndungane and Monde Hadebe.
According to Beeld's sources, Daniel feels isolated leading the team, which apparently also has so-called "cliques" among its ranks.
Furthermore, there appears to be trouble in the Sharks boardroom as well, which led to a so-called "Operation Cleanout", with Sharks CEO Brian van Zyl being the first victim.
Van Zyl will be replaced by former Springbok captain John Smit, who will start his new role on July 1. Sharks coach John Plumtree and commercial manager Rudolf Straeuli are apparently the next targets.
Smit last week told a Sunday newspaper the toughest part of his new job will be to "make decisions about the future of people I know and had a close working relationship with in the past."
The Sharks are currently in Perth where they conclude their Australasian tour with a game against the Force on Friday (13:45 SA time).

Looks like a bit of sensationalism to me but lets see what comes of it, only beeld have reported on it so far.
He's 100% right. Too many dutchmen in Durban these days. Let's take back the Last Outpost!!!
And this is the bottom line.
