Nulls - Sharks game

The Bulls have announced an unchanged team - after beating the sub-standard Cheetahs.   The Sharks apparently have a problem inasmuch as there are rumours - not confirmed as yet - that Alberts and Lambie will not be available for the game Friday night.

The papers tip Michalak to play flyhalf - now Saffex that is a player with real ball sense - and I be;lieve that in that event Ludik will play at full backl   .    The real problem is what to do about replacing Alberts.   I would favour Du Toit that would give the Sharks another line out option to counter Spies.   Deysel is definitely not the answer.

I still think the Bulls bubble will burst at Kings Park and give the Sharks a real chance in that game.   That would mean that the Bulls will go to 53 points on the log and so will the Sharks..  

 My money is on Michalak starting at flyhalf with the man-child inside center and Whitehead outside center

Sykes is apparently coming up lame which will mean du Toit will be at lock and Deysel at flank

oimatey

Are you referring to Francois Steyn as the manchild? Never heard him described as such before - please enlighten me.    I rate Jordaan higher than Whitehead at 13 - is Jordaan still injured?   I will not be surprised if they play Whitehead at 13 - but think Jordaan is a better center than Whitehead.   Now I will have to run for cover - Saffex will have a fit.

I do not rate Sykes as a lock - and he is no loss.   Am a great admirer of Du Toit though.    Deysel is very average and will not help in the battle against the Bulls.
