. TheSharksZA will travel to Pretoria this weekend for a rematch with the BlueBullsRugby with some key improvements in personnel for a round three SuperRugbyUnlocked encounter. By MikeGreenaway67 | IOLsport

The Durbanites were outplayed for most of their SuperFan Saturday game against Jake White’s team but, in mitigation, they were without a host of first-choice players.

Penxe was one of the stand-out players in the Springbok Showdown and he gives the Sharks attacking options at either fullback or wing, an area where the Sharks’ depth has been under pressure because of injuries to Aphelele Fassi and Nkosi plus the departure of Makazole Mapimpi for Japan. Van Vuuren became a first-choice starter for the Sharks last year when Akker van der Merwe went overseas and Chilliboy Ralepelle was indisposed, and he has grown into an important component of the Sharks’ pack.

“We also had the chance to address issues arising from the Lions game - the set piece would have been top of the agenda - while also focusing on lessons learned from when we played the Bulls a few weeks ago .”
