The following is the Sharks team for Saturday:-
15 SP Marais. 14 JP Pietersen, 13 Paul Jordaan, 12 Francois Steyn, 11 Lwazi Mvovo, 10 Patrick Lambie, 9 Cobus Reinach, 8 Ryan Kankowski, 7 Jean Deysel, 6 Marcell Coetzee, 5 Stefan Lewies, 4 Willem Alberts, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Bismarck du Plessis, 1 Thomas du Toit
Replacements :
16 Kyle Cooper, 17 Dale Chadwick, 18 Lourens Adriaanse, 19 Etienne Oosthuizen, 20 Teras Mtembu. 21 Charl McLeod, 22 S’bora Sithole, 23 Tondera Chabanga
Despite Mozart's vicious attack containing numerous mmisrepreentations and denigrating Lambie, Jordaan and Reinach all three are in the starting line up.
As I have predicted Pietersen is moved back to the wing - his defense at 13 was always a problem and most members failed to see that one.
The problem backline selection remains Steyn - I hope for a change he manade to make his tackles and does not leave it to Jordaan to try and clear up after he missed those. Aside from that I hope he does pass some balls to players outside of him. The other one - that he will at last make a line break at center is likely to be wishful thinking.
The other hope is that Jean Deysel does not bugger up and get another red or yellow card. With Alberts at lock he is likely to do less damage to the Sharks efforts - but he is such a mindless player - one can only hope eh does not collect a yellow card as well.
Despite reservations about the mentioned players - this is the only reasonable team the Sharks could really field.
