DURBAN - The fantastic thing about rugby is that you get a second chance to beat a team that got one over you in a previous encounter - that is how Sharks prop Thomas du Toit feels about the Sharks’ return to Loftus on Saturday to play the Bulls after they lost heavily there four weeks ago.
“Redemption is what we have mentally been dwelling on this week,” tighthead prop Du Toit said yesterday. “We want to fix the mistakes we made that day, and redeem ourselves.”“A better start is obviously something we have spoken about a lot this last week, and we have practised it - avoiding it is something we have pinpointed during our bye week,” Du Toit said.
“There are pros and cons to having an early bye, but at the end of the day, whatever the competition and whatever the break you have, you are here to play rugby,” Du Toit said.Thomas du Toit of the Cell C Sharks and Andries Ferreira of the Vodacom Blue Bulls during the 2019 Currie Cup match at Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria on 24 August 2019.

“The set piece fight is never the same from week to week, and it doesn’t really matter what happened last week or the week before, because it keeps evolving,” he said.
