They have to go into the next round of Super 15 without some of their key players - why do they continue to suffer?
The Sharks are without Lambie, Alberts, Sykes and Jordaan - all not yet recovered from injries.
Sykes is not really a prolem - the other three definitely are. The Sharks are badly affected and their chnaces to win are thus being hampered. They are fortunate to have Du Toit as a lock. Would like tpo see hpw he perform against two Springbok locks - will tell us a lot about his future career - having to start his Super 15 career aagainst the Bulls. Deysel is a minus - not a plus-factor. Jordaan is streets ahead of Whitehead - if he was fit he would have made a huge difference to the Sharks backline.
The Stormers have been suffering with key players being out as well. They have a btter team than last week. However they are still without -
Burger, Vermeulen and Etzebeth and has to play Sinclair, to repolace Vermeulen, Elstadt isfortunately enough back. Kolisis is a top flank forward - he will definitely do his part. The two most badly missed will be Etzebeth and Vermeulen.
With the injured players still out - can the Sharks and the Stormers still hope to win their games? What do you think?
