Pity bloody Akers has moved Moodie to wing - twit

Ooooh look the useless JJ is at 13 with Hooker on the wing and Am on the bench

Mike your Sharks bench is missing Am

Reinhardt Ludwig is a bloody good player and should actually be in the Bok Squad in my opinion.

Mike your Sharks bench is missing Am

I copied it from the Supersport site so they missed him out, Mike can just add him when he puts the team in his post.

Good to see that Ackermann is picking Jan H Wessels in his intended position…..

JJ is very slow in making his entrance into stardom :)

JJ was the best Sharks player last weekend - try wake up for a change and he is fucking 21 you idiot

Agree M, Wessels is a potential Marx replacement, not a power scrummager.

Sorry being late at updating th e thread. It was Pakie who posted the Sharks team first, I have just one comment. I wsh tp make - that backline fo the Sharks will fail - I am srry fr Hooker to have shit inside him and so many of the elderly in the team.

Still think the Sharks will lose against Ulster on Satirday,

To the top woth this one
