Vok. How many more ex Sharks players are the Stormers going to poachFalseBayFC wrote: Tue Jan 24, 2023 9:30 am Good to see Ruben van Heerden back in SA. He'll add some beef to the Stormers pack and is a solid worker. Apparently Jannes Kirsten is also coming back to the Bulls. Very underrated player.
It will be Embra B v Sharks B to be fair as the Scottish internationalists will be away as well. It will however definitely be on an artificial pitch.OomStruisbaai wrote: Mon Jan 23, 2023 7:54 pm Sharks B vs EmbraCell C Sharks have said goodbye to six of their star players as they move from London to Edinburgh.
The Springboks go into their resting protocols from this week and it is understood that the likes of Siya Kolisi, who captains the Sharks in their Heineken Champions Cup campaign, Eben Etzebeth, Ox Nche and a few other Boks are heading back to Durban, with six replacements being flown out.
The Sharks were at full strength minus a few injured and suspended players (Bongi Mbonambi and Makazole Mapimpi) when they lost 39-29 to the Harlequins at The Stoop in London in the Champions Cup at the weekend. So they do have some correcting to do before they get to Edinburgh for a game that is important for them given their mid-table position on the URC log and the way they are lagging in the conference and battle for the South African Shield.
To top that, the Edinburgh game will be played on an artificial pitch at the DAM Health Stadium, which is troubling considering the Sharks looked a little beaten for tempo by the Harlequins

If Edinburgh do not get a lot of injured players back, they will struggle in the backs.

Which is a shame as ticket sales are going well.
Fixed that for you.
Knock it off, you two! Let's not refer to A, B, C teams any more.

Venter, McBurney, Atalifo, Sykes, Young, Haining, Boyle, Mata,
Vellacott, Savala, Goosen, Lang, Bennett, Blain, Immelman
Harrison* Auterac, McCallum, Jamie Campbell, Muncaster, Pyrgos, Cammy Scott, Jaco
This is if we don't get anyone back from injury or Scotland duty. Hooker is the problem area, Rambo was carrying water on Sunday, maybe he'll be fit to play?
You'd think they would want Duhan and Mish to get a run out if they can.
Thats not as bad as I thought either. Somewhere between B and C then.weegie01 wrote: Tue Jan 24, 2023 12:57 pmI will need to think things through in future.

Since we ( Shark ) have taken partners to improve the Union as a whole, Us Sharkies have had to tolerate all kinds of shite from WP supporters, saying we are poaching all their players , that we may as well call ourselves the Stormers......that the Union has no loyalty because we buy mercanaries....etc. etc.
Finally........the worm has turned. The swing has come roundabout.....
Suck on it.

Last night I was quoting a mate on some stuff he needs for his factory...we were going around in circles regarding the quantities , until he finally realised he had attached the wrong schedule....
We laughed and laughed but deep down we both knew that we are getting old.
Its not an issue. I have a generator. When load shedding happens we divert the staff that operate the 3 phase machinery to other tasks....so plan for that.LoveOfTheGame wrote: Wed Jan 25, 2023 10:11 am
