So not a Super Crap Stompies team?
Looking forward to seeing the Sharks side. Think we've got some of the best backs in the Super Rugby competition but I don't think our pack is going to be much chop..
It's tough to lose a loose trio of the Du Preez twins and Phllip van der Walt but I've heard good things about James Venter.
At lock I'm hoping JJ van der Mescht gets a start this weekend and gives a good enough performance to nail a starting spot for the competition.
Our front row could be anything this season. I like Ox Nche and Thomas du Toit as a potential combo but I know little about the others.
All in all, I'm not very confident for the season but . . . Go Sharks!!!

Rooi it looks a better side than the Bulls and Lions They are playing Malherbe and Mbonambi in the fixture against the Kings. PSDT must be resting or might be injured Your boys have named a squad of 28 for the Stormers game. Your forwards will be fine. Look out for young Kumbirai at tighthead who has come from the Stormers. Square of a lad who got no opportunity behind Malherbe and Wilco Louw You have good locks in vd Mescht and Ruben v Heerden. Look out for LeRoux Roets who has come from the Pumas, he impressed me - is a huge lad Venter at openside is a great acquisition - is a true fetcher and very active
