Cape Town - Sharks duo Stephan Lewies and Frans Steyn face a long stint on the sidelines after picking up injuries.
Sharks Director of Rugby Gary Gold on Wednesday that lock Lewies and utility back Steyn are set to undergo surgery, which will rule them out for extended periods.
"Unfortunately it looks like they're both going to be out with some long term injuries," Gold told reporters.
"Stephan has ruptured his patella tendon, and Fransie has torn his pectoral muscle. It looks like both will need surgery so that is very disappointing for us."
Both players got injured in last week’s 21-14 win over the Reds in Brisbane.
They are the latest additions to an injury list that already includes the likes of Cobus Reinach (fractured hand), Pieter-Steph du Toit (knee) and Pat Lambie (neck vertebrae).
In their next Super Rugby assignment, the Sharks host the Rebels at Kings Park in Durban on Friday (19:10 kick-off).

Big loss. Both are big losses, but at this stage of the competition it's irrelevant.

It is very relevant. For most of the season Fransie varied between piss poor and below par and he had to try to recover some credit in the remaining matches to show something better. That is gone now and looking at the overall position - he would really not be a loss to the Sharks.
Anyway - Meyer did not invite him to his training camps so Fransie is out of consideration for Springbok selection in any event.
I have sympathy with Fransie - do not like players to get injured. However, he is partly to blame himself - he carries to o much lard to be fit to play competitive rugby.

Frans has been in fine form, one of the best ever Sharks players.

Does anybody think Liarmike has sympathy with Fransie.....when his whole post delights in his departure through injury? This man has no class.
The most insincere comment of the year fromLiarmike....we may not rate players, but it's not good form to
