Kanko was MOTM

Okay and deservedly so. Won't be long before he's back in the Bok setup...

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Here's hoping anyway ...... he's such a talent and the poor chap never gets enough/any Springbok game time.

I do feel for him as he is really talented, but look at the amount of loose forwards that have not been selected for the springboks but would walk into almost any other countrie's national team.

So who is this Griquas team again? Are they the ones who are top of the table and have beaten most teams before them and pushed the Bulls to the final minute last week (with only 13 men!)?

 

[Sting]

41-6

Bonus Point!

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Oh I'm getting a good feeling about some of our liteys and back benchers now ..... they really are showing some spirit at last

The team that lost to the bulls with ONLY 1 point, in the dying minutes of the game!

I agree Meph. Some new names really starting to show what they are made of. I think Sharks rugby is in a good way and the academy is bringing through some good youngsters. Add to this the "old boys" who still continue to impress (read Stefan Tereblanche here ). That Lambie chap who came on near the end is going to be a star of the (near) future for sure.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

I like that Lwazi Mvovo chap ...... man, is he industrious as well as strong and pacy or what

Anyone got thoughts on the game this Saturday against the lads from Cape Town, apart from a thrashing and a bit retribution for the away game earlier on?

A walk in the park for them IMHO. Depend on weather conditions I presume!

Weather will play a role but I remember how well they played in the wet against the Lions, was it?

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

It's gonna be a tough game IMO ...... we need to play exactly how we have been to stick it to these WeePee fools. On that note, here's the team for Saturday:

Team:

15. Stefan Terblanche
14. Chris Jordaan
13. Andries Strauss
12. Riaan Swanepoel
11. Lwazi Mvovo
10. Juan Hernandez
09. Rory Kockott
08. Keegan Daniel
07. Jean Deysel
06. Jacques Botes
05. Johann Muller (Capt)
04. Steven Sykes
03. Wiehahn Herbst
02. Skipper Badenhorst
01. Deon Carstens / Patric Cilliers

Replacements:

16. Craig Burden
17. Patric Cilliers / Deon Carstens
18. Albert van den Berg
19. Michael Rhodes
20. Charl McLeod
21. Monty Dumond
22. Waylon Murray

Why they have gone with that Jordaan dude again, I have no idea .... he is really a sucky player.

 

[LancelotSA]

Gonna be good to see Hernandes get a run with Kockott....

Too lazy to google.... so when and what time is this game?

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

3pm Saturday ......... I'm praying for lekker sunshine. And also can't wait to see our Argentine in action at last

 

[sand_man]

Got to feel for Monty and Mcloed though, they done a sterling job covering for Rory and Juan.

Monty in particular has been improving with every outing after many had written him off...

6 wins from the last 6 outings with Stefan in charge and Dumond at 10...mmmm I would have been reluctant to tamper with this line up...

The only loss this season for Sharks has been against Province, here's hoping they can turn that result around come Saturday...

Sharks by 11-15...

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

I don't think we've done any harm tinkering with the 10 position, I think it's a good thing that Monty has stepped up and we now have Flyhalf cover for the first time in a while McCleod is not bad, I just still prefer Kockott for his nugget approach. The one thing I would have kept as is, is the Captaincy of Stefan ..... he seems to make a better one than Muller.

The outlook looks good so far... supposed to be warming all weekend. Bring it on.

This is true but you can't exactly keep a guy who you have probably paid a fortune for sitting on the bench all season
