[QUOTE="Seaton, post: 341750, member: 64443"] So the Sharks travel to Witbank to take on the Pumas. The Pumas beat the Bulls 2 weeks ago, but were not as convincing against the Leopards last week, where they just scraped through. However, they seem to have decent structures in place and a much heavier front-row than the Sharks. The Sharks are coming off to fairly scrappy performances. An uncomfortable home win against the Griquas was followed up by a poor second half display in their defeat to the Bulls last week. Stefan Terblanche will be playing fullback, the first time in a while but none-the-less his favoured position. Monty Dumond makes way for him, with Riaan Swanepoel coming in at inside center, with Strauss shifting outside. Keegan Daniel suffered an injury last week, and is thus unavailable. However, his place is taken by returning Bok, Ryan Kankowski, so there is little loss. Things are more problematic up-front. Beast and Bismarck are unabl to play due to the Springbok conditioning programme, whilst Wiehan Herbst has made way for Pat Cilliers. Eugene van Staden takes Beasts place, whilst Burden starts, with young Kyle Cooper taking his place on the bench (I really do like the look of him, he has considerable pace for a hooker [not quite the wing-speed of Burden though] and has a strong physical presence, and he is only 20!) Louis Ludik will have to pass a fitness test today in order to take his spot on the bench, should he fail, Vulindlu shall fill in. I am unable to find the Pumas team. Sharks: 15. Stefan Terblanche 14. Odwa Ndungane 13. Andries Strauss 12. Riaan Swanepoel 11. Lwazi Mvovo 10. Patrick Lambie 9. Charl McLeod 8. Ryan Kankowski 7. Willem Alberts (sp.) 6. Jacques Botes 5. Allistair Hargreaves 4. Steven Sykes 3. Pat Cilliers 2. Craig Burden 1. Eugene van Staden 16. Kyle Cooper 17. Wiehahn Herbst 18. Micheal Rhodes 19. Skholiwe Ndlovu 20. Rory Kockett 21. Andre Pretorius 22. Louis Ludik/ Luzuko Vulindlu Hoping Lambie gets his kicks, was fairly poor last week [/QUOTE]
