That’s a hell of a team, actually
I’ve just had another look at the Sharks team to face the Lions tomorrow and I must say, it’s an impressive outfit. Games are never won on paper, of course (or LCD… who reads anything on paper these days?) but I stand by my earlier prediction that the Sharks are going to seriously click and give the Lions a hiding.
