Sorry i missed the question mark on the heading.
Sharks arguably SA's best. a team loaded with boks against NZs finest is one to relish. Finally we get to play a real team. Sorry Beanob .
One more game for the clean sweep chaps...

I will not be so sure about that the Crusaders will be able to beat the Sharks at Kings Park. I think the Sharks are going to surprise a lot of people and win this one. My reasons are the following:-
* The Sharks thus far this year did not perform at all from an attacking perspective and they had a disfunctional backline - especially as a result of the Steyn at 12 situation.
* They were also handicapped by certain players who really let them down - Burden being a typical example.
The Stormers on the other hand had even more serious problems in having to deal with their own headaches. I pointed out elsewhere that Jantjies on his own was the best Crusader player on the field - he was absolutely useless as he normally is - and the Stormers is persisiting with a center that brings nothing to the game. The most surprising thing is they lost the line-out batlle against the Crusaders because of one major factor - the poor line-out feeding by Fourie.
I do not think against the Sharks the Crusaders would be fortunate to have the same negative factors in the opposing team this time around - so I think that although they did play an excellent game against the Stormers - they will have to up their game considerably against the Sharks to be in contention.
i agree with mike....just hope the weather holds up as this time of year the durban weather is rather balmy and sticky. we just want a decent game of rugby. if the sharks play there normal game pattern and attack the saders line then the saders might find out after 80 min that they are where ont he wrong side of the scoreboard
It is a beautiful sunny day today with some wind - but not impossible playing conditions. The situation should not be different on Saturday - that is if we can believe the weather forecast on TV.
