This could be ideal preparation for the 4nations. Lambie/Steyn in the 10/12 axis. However Steyn is not eligable to play for the Sharks if they get to the play offs. A loss this weekend and the Sharks are out.
Morne Steyn/Missie vs Lambie/Steyn.
If Pienaar was back playing for the Sharks it would be Hougaard vs Pienaar.
What are the predictions?
Missie is still battling with indigestion from that flat palm sandwich Brussouw fed him.
It seems that Michalak will be playing at flyhalf, and Bambie may not even be ready to play- if so it may actually be fullback.
Brussouws hand off on Missie was well deserved. Pity Morne didnt also get a hand off- oh I forgot Morne rarely tackles
I think the Steyn-Lambie combination would be a severe test for Morne and Meisiekind. I think Morne would stand so far back that the whole Bulls backline will be disorientated - and Meisiekind will play crash ball to neutralize the backline completely - back to ten man or 11 man rugby but lets see on Friday evening. If that happens - then the Sharks will win and Morne will get failure marks. - at least from me.
Will be interesting - but we will have to wait for the team announcement to see which of the injured players will be back to play. Hope the team would be as I mentioned elsewhere and that Lambie, Jordaan, Pienaar and Steyn are all back in the frame.
Mike, Morne will be in the car park kicking up and unders. Missie will be crash balling from stand still when Morne gets skipped out of the backline. What is this about Pienaar- Ruan Pienaar? I think he is still playing in the Northern Hemishpere- unless their is another Pienaar.
What happened to Johan Sadie at the bulls this year. With all the recruitment happening from the under 20 side at the Bulls- Slim Sadie could be on his way out. I think he gave away too many crucial tries this year and does not understand the Bulls Defence.
Sharkbok, Johan Sadie is out injured. Dont know about Pienaar.
I am backing the Sharks to win this one. They are at home and with Frans Steyn there it boosts them significantly. Sharks by 12. Just trust bulle refs Jonkers and Joubert are not officiating.
