DURBAN - The most notable departure from the Sharks team that led Super Rugby before the national lockdown in March has to be blockbusting centre Andre Esterhuizen, who at 1.94m and 115kg is also the most noticeable.
The departure of the “The Giant,” as he was simply but tellingly nicknamed by his Sharks teammates, quite literally leaves a big gap for coach Sean Everitt to fill when rugby in South Africa resumes this weekend. For Everitt, finding a replacement for Esterhuizen with similar physical dimensions is not going to happen but the coach does have quality candidates who can play a similar game.
In Jeremy Ward and Marius Louw, Everitt has two No 12s who have been bubbling under, taking turns to deputise for Esterhuizen, and now they are in a tussle for the full-time job.
