Looks like the team is the best available - but there are two players who are bound to let the team down:-
* Tellow Card and slow carthouse Willem Alberts; and
* Backline Saboteur Francois Steyn.
Alberts is way to slow for the ewxpected fastmoving game and let the Sharks down badly in the previous Highlanders clash - when he invented the famous Alberts-Treeby tackle technique
Steyn believes it is a mortal sin to pass balls to other bacjkline players and rather make aimless kicks straight out of touch when that really represents possession losses or straight into the hands of opposition recipients.
