Despite a poor game in loss to the Bulls, Robert du Preez remains in team to play the Lions on Friday at Ellis Park
Despite a poor game in loss to the Bulls, Robert du Preez remains in the team to play the Lions on Friday at Ellis ParkSharks coach Robert du Preez has opted to stick with his namesake son at flyhalf, while Curwin Bosch and Aphelele Fassi swap places at fullback for Friday’s Super Rugby date against the Lions at Ellis Park.
In their defeats to the Stormers and the Bulls‚ they have been outmuscled in no uncertain terms. This has stunted their backline, which has some very good players and Du Preez‚ who is leaving the Sharks at the end of the Super Rugby season to join the Sale Sharks in Manchester‚ has gone missing in those defeats.
“It doesn’t get any easier and it’s a tough assignment in Johannesburg. It’s always tough up there but we’re very positive and although we won everything but the match on Saturday‚ there were some fantastic positives we took out of the game. We’ll take that type of momentum. In the first game against the Bulls‚ we were outplayed and against the Stormers‚ we lost the physical battle, but against the Bulls I thought we played some outstanding rugby.
