Patrick Lambie has not recovered from his injury which sees Freddie Michalak retain the flyhalf jersey for their match against the Hurricanes.
Another injury forced change sees Louis Ludik come into the wing position for Odwa Ndungane who flew back to South Africa.
Interestingly, Bismarck is being rotated with Craig Burden for this game and will only play from the bench.

There is always Bosman at 10, but if Freddie and Charl gets injured then they have a problem. Most team won’t have more than 2 scrumhalves in their 22 in any case.
I would have started Bosman at 10 for this game in any case.
I’m disappointed that we won’t see Lambie vs Barrit for this game.

of course – forgot that Bosman plays 10!
So all bases covered then and 5-2 split workable. Go Guppies!

When oh when is Beast back… Chadwick is rubbish and Herbst is well a CC player… oh to still have Smit in the 22…
McLeod is not an 80 min player either… the guy is soooo slow he’s good for 60 min…
I won’t even mention the coach… and the Sharks have had their ‘gees’ win with lucky rub-of-the-green… ouch… so hard to try and be positive…

Let me just qualify that a bit more…
Chadwick is not rubbish as I stated… but not a classic monster LH prop and he has no game around the ground, frustratingly gifting possession almost every time he runs into contact!
He scrums well though… doesn’t dominate… holds his own and he has upped his work-rate particularly in the tackle-zone (although he misses WAY too many)…
Modern props particularly LH need to do more!
