Alberts at lock for Sharks

July 18, 2012

The non-availability of Pat Lambie and Frans Steyn through injury and competition rules respectively have forced John Plumtree into changes.

Louis Ludik comes in at fullback for the injured Lambie while Tim Whitehead moves into the inside center position left vacant by Frans Steyn with Paul Jordaan covering number 13.

Plumtree resisted moving JP Pietersen from wing, where he has been in great form, to outside center where he did duty earlier in the season.

In another surprise move Willem Alberts packs down at lock with Anton Bresler as Kanko, Coetzee and Daniel complete the loose-trio.

The all-Bok front-row of Jannie, Bismarck and Beast is also back in action.

    Too bad Qualude Cooper is out would have liked to see him vs Fab Five Freddy Michilak but better for Sharks.
    It is the playoffs after all so no need for the extra juice for highlighting matchups I suppose.

    Wonder how the Euro fixtures compare to this Super 15 death-march.
    Love watching but too many games for humans to play – with roster and bench size the way it is. Something has to give and looks to be bones and ligaments over $.
