Sharks side is out

Dave

Interesting selection by the Sharks - St Esterhizen is not playing and Hooker is at 13 and Van der Merwe at full back, I think the latter two selections may have an impact on what may happen in future Springbok usage, Erasmus often ask team coaches to play players in certain positions and that may one of those.

Go Stormers !!!!

Willemse playing...

...and Sacha...gatskop!!

Kak jerseys...

Lekke Stormers!!!

Yeah numbers on their backs are awful especially the No7
