Sharks chief John Plumtree has allayed any concerns around Siya Kolisi’s personal life and is excited to see how the veteran performs at No 8 in a new-look back row this week.
Siya Kolisi will pack down at the back of the scrum for the Sharks as John Plumtree tweaks his lineup to face Munster in Durban on Saturday.
Graeme Rowntree has backed Munster to come good against a Springbok-infused Sharks team in Durban following a poor start to the season.
With Damian Willemse back from injury, Willie le Roux nearing his 100th cap, and Aphelele Fassi continuing to impress, the battle for the Springbok No 15 jersey is heating up.
The Sharks’ returning Springboks may not have immediately hit top gear, but John Plumtree believes they’ll inject more bite into next weekend’s clash with Munster.
Former Junior Springbok skipper and Sharks loose forward George Cronje has reportedly retired from professional rugby due to persistent knee injuries.
