Daniel hat-trick helps Sharks to win
by Jason Humphries 23/07/2010, 20:47
Keegan Daniel scored three tries to help the Sharks to a hard-fought 27-17 win (half-time 10-17) over the Pumas in their Absa Currie Cup match at Absa Stadium in Durban on Friday.
Scorers
The Sharks - Tries: Keegan Daniel (3), Charl McLeod; Conversions: Patrick Lambie (2); Penalty: Lambie.
Pumas - Tries: Christo Le Roux, Ronnie Uys; Conversions: Ricardo Croy (2); Drop goal: Croy.
A big pity Pienaar is almost at Ulster, 1 of the greatest talents lost to Europe
He is out for six weeks due to an AC injury so effectively he has played his last game for the Sharks. Interested to see whether Lambie gets a run at flyhalf... could that be the future for Springbok rugby?
I would like to see him stay at fullback and for Steve Meyer to be given a longer run at #10.
It seems Meyer could well be out for the rest of the season... so it is being speculated.
The Sharks have made a number of changes for their team to play the Lions this Saturday.
Let’s start in the backline. As expected, Pat Lambie starts at flyhalf in the absence of the injured Steve Meyer with Andries Strauss filling the inside centre berth vacated by Lambie.
But it is in the forwards where most of the changes occur. Willem Alberts starts at blindside flank in place of Keegan Daniel who moves across to openside flank with Jacques Botes dropping to the bench. Al Hargreaves retakes his number 5 jersey from Ross Skeate, who moves to the bench. Beast Mtawarira takes the place of Pat Cilliers at loosehead prop while Jannie du Plessis starts at tighthead prop with Wiehan Herbst dropping out of the match 22. Bismarck will make a welcome return to rugby from the bench while Eugene van Staden will cover both prop positions from the bench, the bench is again a 5-2 split with Jean Deysel completing the forward replacements while the back replacements are Rory Kockott and Riaan Swanepoel
