We had better extract our fingers from some unmentionable cavities for this one.
I'd start to make some changes, PSdT and Cooper for the forwards (Herbst in for Jannie due to injury).
Midfield needs a change... Bosman?! Bring in Viljoen.
 
Well, giventhe recent performances, I would start with this:


1. Mtawarira
2. Cooper
3. Herbst

Solid front-row and Cooper brings so much more on attack and his line-out throw is decent

4. Du Toit
5. Bresler

To be honest, Franco van der Merwe has not brought what we expected of him and du Toit deserves a start

6. Botes
7. Coetzee
8. Kankowski

Botes is fundamental. We need a fetcher. Daniel can compete with Kanko, a battle he will lose. Let Kankowski be the captain. By far our most consistent forward for over a year now.

9. McLeod
10. Lambie

No need to explain. Reinach could play. Let them both have 40 minutes.

11. Mvovo
14. Pietersen
15. Ludik

No need to explain this either

12. Bosman
13. Jordaan

This is the biggest change. I wouldn't mind seeing a shift in the backline with Viljoen in at 15, Ludik on the wing and JP back at centre.
 
Coetzee does not seem to have a purpose on the field. I'd go with Botes, Daniel, Kanko. All Coetzee does is make tackles and run up the ball and though he does this plenty of times he doesn't fo it overly effectively IMO.

Frans Steyn < Tim Whitehead. He got fat and lazy in France.

The rest is just execution and timing that is still a bit off ATM.
 
Plum's been reading my posts again.
Mvovo back in the team, Bosman for Steyn, Cooper for Burden, PSdT for Bresler, Reinach for McLeod.
 
Rebels:
Angus Roberts, Jason Woodward, Mitch Inman, Lachlan Mitchell, Cooper Vuna, James O'Connor, Nick Phipps, Gareth Delve (capt), Scott Fuglistaller, Scott Higginbotham, Luke Jones, Hugh Pyle, Laurie Weeks, Ged Robinson, Nic Henderson.
Res: Shota Horie, Paul Alo-Emile, Cadeyrn Neville, Jordy Reid, Nic Stirzaker, Rory Sidey, Richard Kingi.

Not a bad looking side. I would prefer to see Neville starting, but they actually have a reasonably solid pack with Delve back from injury. Cooper Vuna and Jason Woodward have returned from injury too, with Woodward making his Super Rugby debut.
 
Only moments away from kick-off. As always, very excited, but if we play like we did last week, the excitement will quickly make way for disappointment and frustration. Still not happy with Daniel being rushed back into the line-up.
 
Good enough crowd today. Hoping for a good performance. If we play like we played last week, it's going to ruin my weekend.
 
TRY!!!! Louis Ludik!!!!!!!!!

Amazing attacking break by the loosies, Herbst recycling, passing wide and Ludik finishes in the corner.

Lambie with a tricky but perfect conversion. Difficult when a player has to hold the ball. As a kicker, you just don’t want to go all out with the kick, but the 2 extra points are in! 7-0!
 
TRY MARCELL!!!! Rolling maul from a line-out.

This will really put us in a better mood!

Wow… Calling on the TMO to take a decision and then take the decision yourself based on what you see on the big screen replay. Is that even allowed?

TRY BOTES!!!! This will make Draggs happy.

Bonus Point try by captain Keegan Daniel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 24-0.

From sarugby.co.za's live scoring:

"Almost another maul try for the Sharks, but this time they are blown up for obstruction. The referee saw a truck-and-trailer, which is impressive, because he didn't see much else in this match. Soon after the halftime whistle goes."


Laughed far too much and too long at that than I should've.
