I was very positive a few weeks ago about the rugby our teams were playing.However for the few extra tries- we were also leaking more tries, but that was OKas it was a step forward. 
Now our attack and defence has fallen apart, and we have reverted to 10 man rugby. 
The Sharks just dont have enough play makers in the team, and not enough firepower out wide. 
AM was looking good early on- but seems to have dropped form a little- probably due to not getting the ball.

The player missed on Saturday was Kobus van Wyk and his absence from the squad going to Argentina is another death knell to the Sharks.  
Du Preez in a newspaper report said that the players should pay the spectators back their money because of the disastrous performance on Saturday.   I suspect that Esterhuizen would lose 6 weeks pay as a result of his stupidity.   He must be hopping mad and the Sharks may try and produce something better.

 CM.
maybe they should try move AM to inside center for the time being. Although with wee Bosch on the inside this may be a bit light on defence. 
I have fallen asleep a few times this year during the Sharks games, literally.
I don't recall seeing much of Jeremy Ward this season- but he does not look stupid- so perhaps he has potential. 
On paper, that is an extremely weak looking back-line to take to Argentina. Things could get embarrassing, as the Argies are sure to throw the ball around. 
Their forwards should easily match the Sharks forwards, so moving the ball away from them will be the best option. 
Could someone remember to check Chilli Boy's  bags before departure to ensure their is not another embarrassing fiasco
