During the week Sharks coach John Plumtree highlighted a few areas of their Round 5 opposition, the Brumbies’, scrum that he would like referee Jonathan Kaplan to have a close look at.

Confidence taken from first 2012 victory
I went to my first press conference on Tuesday afternoon. I know I should probably be all cool about it, but that just really doesn’t seem like me.
