The Cell C Sharks have selected a settled starting XV as Siya Kolisi and Thomas du Toit play their final home matches for the Sharks against Munster in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship on Saturday.The Sharks have all but sealed their spot in the final eight of the URC, however that eighth position comes with the daunting task of playing Leinster in Dublin in the quarter-finals.
Saturday’s showdown with the Munster Men, a side the Sharks beat comfortably at the beginning of April in the Heineken Champions Cup, will have added significance as they bid farewell to captain Siya Kolisi and stalwart Thomas du Toit. Du Toit arrived at the Sharks straight out of school and lived up to the schoolboy hype as the Paarl Boys’ High School graduate racked up well over 100 appearances for the Durban side over the ten years he’s been with the union.
Both players will take with them vast experience and the Sharks will have the important job of replacing them in the new season.
