[QUOTE="Steve-o, post: 179319"] Technically, it's not close to a replay of last years final, since it was played in Durbs. Though I get where you coming from, I won't give it that tag. More like a replay of last years opening match, where the Sharks beat the Bulls at Loftus. Quite a feat, considering what players they did have. And like you mentioned Juggers, we still have a lot of players remaining from last years campaign, who know what it takes to beat the Bulls there. But I wouldn't say the core is still intact. Vambo, I reckon the Sharks will steal this one. The Bulls may be embarrassed but do they really have the quality of players to avenge that defeat? I don't think they do. Their backline took a blow when JP Nel was cited, they'll miss his iron defence. Habana is still out. But I heard Bakkies will be back in action, a much needed boost for them. We've only 2 backs on the bench in Jacobs and Terblanche, so that pace impact you were talking about will suffer. Muir is gearing up for a grinding forward affair [/QUOTE]
