The Sharks are going into a game with may questions to which I am sure they will find some answers after the following to matches being played at Newlands in Cape Town.
The sharks team to face the Western Force in Tuesday night’s warm up match at Newlands stadium has been announced, this match being part of the ” Neo Africa” series sees the full 28 man contingent playing a part in the match for the Sharks.
The strong starting 15 is complimented by a 13 man bench to provide the entire squad with playing opportunity of playing, this will give John Plumtree the opportunity of game time in the middle in a game situation under match conditions.
The team selected has a lot of experience from jersey 1 to 15 with the bench offering even more , and will give John Plumtree even more insight as to condition and form of players that the training ground does not offer.
No doubt the Western Force team will be boosted by more senior players after being soundly beaten by the Stormers last Friday evening, the Stormers having built up a sizable 41-0 lead by half time, after the introduction of around 7 senior players the Force were a far better unit in the 2nd half.
Tuesday night’s match however should not be as lopsided as John Mitchell’s side for the encounter should be vastly different from that of last Friday night’s match against the Stormers, which could see around 7 or 8 changes in the starting line-up.
The Sharks team is as follows:
15 Stefan Terblanche (capt)
14 Luzuko Vulindlu
13 Waylon Murray
12 Riaan Swannepoel
11 Lwazi Mvovo
10 Monty DuMond
09 Rory Cockott
08 Ryan Kankowski
07 Jean Deysel
06 Keegan Daniel
05 Steven Sykes
04 Alistair Hargreaves
03 Jannie Du Plessis
02 Craig Burden
01 Tendai Mtawarira
Reserves:
16 Bismark Du Plessis
17 John Smit
18 Johan Muller
19 Jaques Botes
20 charl Mcleod
21 Andries Strauss
22 Odwa Ndugane
23 Patric Cilliers
24 Willem Alberts
25 Gerhard Mostert
26 Patric Lambie
27 Adrian Jacobs
28 JP Pietersen
25 – BDB, Thought Piet left last Wednesday for SA. Well that was he told me the last time I spoke to him. So should have been here. Or have I got it wrong. Maybe.
Puma, what would you do with Willem Alberts at the Sharks? Pick him or bench him?
32 – Willievz, Play him. Just too good for the bench.
29: hou van daardie dorp se naam, dink ek sal eendag daar gaan aftree.
33; ja, Daneel is te lig in die broek. Sit vir Alberts op agsteman en Kanko op flank. Maar julle moet eers die Lions betaal voor julle hom speel !
bdb ek voel ook lus om die Noorde te verruil vir die Weskaap

Calvinia is fantasties, die Hantamberg verleen ‘n wonderlike rustigheid aan die area. Kan egter blerrie koud raak!
Het altyd daardie Calvinia-Brandvlei-Kakamas pad as kind gery…
Kenhardt, nie Kakamas…
35 – BdB…hehehe. Hy sal speel as ons betaal of nie. Hope that is correct in afrikaans.
Alberts is myns insiens ‘n uitstekende koop, is daardie tipiese donkie-losvoorspeler wat die Sharks nog altyd makeer het sedert AJ Venter uitgetree het. Ek sal egter vir Botes kies op 6, en Deysel op 7.
I’ve always been a big Mostert fan too.
Okay out of here now. Cheers all. Enjoy the rest of your evening.
Willievz, it was good to meet you mate.
41 – Willievz, before I go. So am I. Pleased he is at the Sharks. Looking forward to seeing Mostert and Alberts playing. Pity we don’t get anything on the game on tv tomorrow night.
I know we getting the game on Friday night. Hope both are selected.
Now out of here. Catch up tomorrow. Cheers all.
Night Puma, great to meet you and speak soon!
Cheers Puma….See Irish has nailed his colours to the mast!!
Goed gaan Puma, en sê vir die Sharks unie: Betaal die Lions … dit is die regte ding om te doen !
Hi willievz…. Welcome to RT.
Hi Carol, thank you very much!
Just off the top of me head – haven’t I seen pics of you, Norm and Supa & co at Twickenham? (if this is the right Carol…)
willie is jy nog in London?
Supa die bloubul is mos ook daar rond.
Weet nie waarom hy nie hier blog nie, sal seker hom moet vra. laas toe hy in SA was sou ek hom ontmoet het maar nou bly hy hier weg. Hy was en is nog ons 2de mees gereelde blogger hier gewees, Maar Puma is nou net 1000 posts agter 😆
SuperBul, ek werk in Brighton op die oomblik. Jip, die SupaBul is ook hier, dalk moet ons hom weer terug lok…

Ja man, ek mis dit nogals om te blog. Gaan hierdie jaar bietjie meer tyd hiervoor afknyp.
En natuurlik ondersteun ek enige inisiatief deur GBS 😉
49: ek gesels lekker met Ed en Supa daar by WTR ook.
willievz – Yip, that was me in the Barbarians Match pics….
We had a great day! 😆

Reg so net jammer hulle doen nie soos jy en kom hier praat nie.
Willievz – Brighton…How do you like Brighton? Bit bracing at the moment!
Carol 56
Brighton is amazing, very vibrant city and amazingly friendly locals. Good to hear seagulls on my way to work and not feel like a canned sardine on the London Underground in the mornings anymore!
Where in the UK are you?
Willie – I am in The Cotswolds, about 20 miles from Oxford. However I am a Pom not a Saffa Exile!! WE are about as far as you can get from the sea though. Understand your feelings on London it is too busy for me!
Time to call it a day……Nice to meet you Willievz…Night Muppets an Mopels (whatever that is) observers and partakers!
Ok Carol nice to meet you too…speak soon!
