Coastal Sharks will lack two injured Springbok front rowers, prop Tendai 'The Beast' Mtawarira and hooker Akker van der Merwe, against the Lions as they seek to improve a dismal home record.

WELLINGTON - Wallabies flanker David Pocock may have played his last game for the Brumbies after failing to shake off a calf injury that has dogged his season.

Clark described Folau, Super Rugby's leading try-scorer, as "probably the best player in the air in the world" but insisted the Waratahs would remain a potent attacking force without him. The Durban outfit have lost four of six Super Rugby matches at Kings Park in the Indian Ocean port city this season, including a 34-point drubbing by the Jaguares.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has criticised Super Rugby refereeing in South Africa, although his comments could also be seen as an early warning that he will be vocal about officiating at the World Cup in Japan.
