The Sharks spending spree continues but until they get a world class No 10, they will be more pretender than contender when it comes to winning titles,Make no mistake, Sharks CEO Eduard Coetzee, is starting to put together a powerful first-choice unit with Vincent Tshituka the latest signing. The Lions loose-forward has been on fire in the United Rugby Championship, but loose-forward isn’t necessarily where the Sharks have been found wanting in the URC and in the Currie Cup.
Bringing back former Sharks midfielder Andre Esterhuizen would have been a coup. I do believe Esterhuizen was a target for Coetzee but the bustling South African No 12, so strong for Harlequins in the past two seasons, has extended his stay in the London. The Bulls, of the four South African franchises, have best gone about maximising a one-squad system, in which two teams have played in the URC and Currie Cup, but often there has been a very big URC match-day component in the Currie Cup. It has ensured the Bulls being a top two Currie Cup team, whilst they have also made the URC play-offs.
