Sharks coach Sean Everitt has explained the continued absence of wing Sbu Nkosi who has been linked to the Bulls and is set to miss the side’s United Rugby Championship (URC) clash against Edinburgh.
The Durban-based franchise will be looking to maintain their excellent run of four victories in a row when they host the Scottish outfit at Kings Park Stadium on Saturday at 5.05pm.
“Sbu had health issues, he had a gastric intestine virus, and he hasn’t recovered from that and as soon as he has recovered, he will be available for selection,” Everitt said. A victory for the Sharks against the Scottish men will put them in a good position to achieve their URC knockouts quarterfinals.
“The team has gained confidence over the four wins, and I thought last week our performance was better although we didn’t finish the opportunities that we created,” Everitt said.
