The Sharks team to face the Blue Bulls in Pretoria this weekend has been announced.
The backline sees the return of Louis Ludik as the only change, as Monty Dumond falls out of the 22 altogether.
Alistair Hargreaves comes back into the squad in the place of Michael Rhodes, after recovering from his groin injury. Rhodes takes up bench duty as Ross Skeate has not fully recovered for this match. Bismarck du Plessis came through after rolling his ankle against Griquas and starts in a formidable front row next to Beast Mtawarira and Wiehahn Herbst.
Skholiwe Ndlovu covers the looseforwards from the bench as he did against Griquas, and Andre Pretorius will be hoping to crack some game time against the Bulls after sitting the full 80 minutes on the bench against Griquas.

15. Louis Ludik
14. Odwa Ndungane
13. Stefan Terblanche (Captain)
12. Andries Strauss
11. Lwazi Mvovo
10. Patrick Lambie

Nice to see Ludik is back
awesoe looking team!! bench is right up there too!! on paper it would seem that the sharks have this in the bag!! he is hoping that we nail the bulls big time!!!
come on you sharks!!!
Shame, poor Keegan must play 6 and 8 . I wonder what Botes is paying him to do his job also !!!!!!!!
Kegaan has really become a Superstar. I see he’s starting at 6 and 8 for the Sharks this weekend. Botes at 6 I presume.
@Stef (Comment 3) : Hahahahahahahahaha!!!
Great team! Stoked ludick is available. Go sharks
Good looking team, should be good enough to crack the Bulls. I really hope Andre gets some time on the park, he has scary talent if ie can manage to run out the tunnel without getting injured.
@Stef (Comment 3) : 😆

@Zebra (Comment 8) : I’d rather he’d get injured in the tunnel… I’m afraid to see that guy in a Sharks jersey. He knows how to make tries…for the other team.
@Stef (Comment 3) : @Pokkel (Comment 4) : What are you guys on about? 😉
@war1 (Comment 12) : do u know what a super over is in T20 😳
@Zebra (Comment 10) : thanks Zeb! Heard u the first time round though! 😉
BTW don’t you want to participate in meet the blogger? E-mail me at [email protected]
@war1 (Comment 12) :
Thanx..
@chaz (Comment 13) : super over is when the teams are tied after twenty overs and each team plays one over as a tie-breaker
@chaz (Comment 13) : ots when you hit 6 sixes and get 6 no balls – so that would give u a score of 42 for the over… 😆
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 15) : No prob, now we have proof you didn’t copy/paste your team
@war1 (Comment 16) : don’t listen to him Chaz – he has NO idea about cricket!
@war1 (Comment 16) : @Ice (Comment 17) : Thanx got no idea about the T20 but will try 🙂
I’m glad Ludik’s recovered and back at 15, so we don’t have any forced backline shuffles – a little continuity goes a long way.
@Ice (Comment 19) : help then 😳 because i don’t either maybe i should quit before i start 😳
@war1 (Comment 18) :
Thats what happens when you do a rush job..
@rhineshark (Comment 21) :
Agreed.. We dont have anybody better at 15 right now..
@chaz (Comment 22) : have you watched a game on TV? if I didn’t I would not know what a super over is, it’s almost like penalty shoot out in soccer, trust me 😉
@chaz (Comment 22) : Chazzie, I was just pulling your leg! War1 is telling the truth 😉
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 23) : yep, that too
@war1 (Comment 25) : yes and now about runs and sixes but the picks are getting to me, maybe i should just go by the wickets etc and leave the super thing just out 😳
@Ice (Comment 26) : that was not nice 😉
@war1 (Comment 25) : ok got me thinking i think what it is now 😛 slow learner but thanks and its really [email protected] if you don’t know the game can still go along with soccer and our game but this T20 oh my 😉
Good to see Ludick back. Dummond’s positional play against the Griquas was not that good.
This is indeed a great looking team?
By the way, anybody know where is Zuks these days?
did pretoors appear last week or not used?
@rekinek (back to rugby) (Comment 32) :
Not used…
You talk lekker for a Polish girl, ne?? 😆
@rekinek (back to rugby) (Comment 32) : think pretoors was the starting 13 for that loss last weekend!!
does anyone feel like letting me on how i can get more stars??
@richzed (Comment 34) : bugger, i was thinking of jaco pretorius there hahaha!! completely forgot about andre minding the splinters on the bench!!
@richzed (Comment 35) : The more you comment the more stars you get. It’s taken me 2.5 years to get the 5.
@Ice (Comment 33) :
I thought that the substitution can be used or not. Shall I say “utilised” though in his case the expiry date is close so I rather stick with “used”.
“gebruik” ?
@richzed (Comment 34) : i mean “ours” andre pretorius. The game was not televised so I might have missed his sharks debut 🙄
@rekinek (back to rugby) (Comment 38) : there was even a fear last week that he might have been used up … 🙄
@richzed (Comment 34) :
You can also contribute with articles…that helps too! 😎
@rekinek (back to rugby) (Comment 40) :
Hmmmm Monty out of the 22 and Skote Petoors in?! To quote Henry VIII ” I like it not ” 🙄
@rekinek (back to rugby) (Comment 32) : @Ice (Comment 33) : Polish girl? ( Pictures Joanna Krupa ) . . . 😆
@Pokkel (Comment 37) : @Ice (Comment 41) : thanks for the info 🙂 time to get more stars 🙂
Zuks is playing club rugby after a knee injury
@rekinek (back to rugby) (Comment 39) : haha i figured out after i reread my comment that it was andre pretorius you was talking about. it is easy to forget that he was on the bench last wknd. hopefully he will have a chance to make his debut this wknd. when he plays well, he can be a dangerous No.10
@richzed (Comment 47) :
he has played too litlle rugby in his career for me to agree with you or judge his play! 😈
@Ice (Comment 48) : We better get a LOT of points for having ourselves exposed on ‘meet the fockers’…..more than you who just have to copy and paste the article.
@Pokkel (Comment 49) :
Nee Boeta – its not for copy and paste…if I do that it throughs everything out…I am re-typing everything… that is why I have send it in Word now! 😆
@Ice (Comment 50) : You NOW send it in Word after I had to download the Office 2007 compatability pak from the web just to answer your questions
@Pokkel (Comment 51) :
@Pokkel (Comment 51) :
i have a 2003 compatibilty version available as well… 😉
Dumond must now be seriously Pissed off.
Even AP is now getting onto the bench ahead of him. 👿
@Ice (Comment 50) :
You need to make sure you post it in the HTML and not the Visual tab.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 55) :
Thanks – will try that! 😳 😉
@Ice (Comment 56) :
Visual takes all your formatting and transfers it.
HTML only takes the text and puts it in. Then you select and make the Bold and italic adjustments in the post window.
@richzed (Comment 35) : @Pokkel (Comment 37) : It’s taken me 2.5 years to get 3 stars cos I only comment when I have something interesting or intelligent to say 🙂
@CapeShark (Comment 58) : I have the same policy. Which is why I still only have 2 stars 😀
@KSA Shark © (Comment 54) : Guess who monty’s agent is
@robdylan (Comment 60) :
Oh no please?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!? Don’t tell me that.
FJELN!!!!!!
@KSA Shark © (Comment 61) :
😆 😆 😆
Just saw on SABC News. On 18th September 2010, the Sharks will play with pink jerseys against the Cheetahs. Its for cancer. 😎 😛
@Jarson (Comment 63) :
I want one of those!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They’d make a KILLING if they sold 1000 or so of those jerseys.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 64) : Was just thinking the same thing. I’d wear it with pride 😳 What if you buy a white one and dye it pink 💡
@Jarson (Comment 65) :
I wonder if they would do that?
I wonder if they will be auctioning off the jerseys afterwards?
Maybe, it could make for an interesting collector’s item 😎
@Jarson (Comment 68) :
i’m busy trying to find out. I’d be dead keen to own one.
Next weeks game, Pumas v Sharks will also be televised 😀 Yay!
@Jarson (Comment 69) : excellent
@Jarson (Comment 62) : I think it’s something Ross Skeate organised
@robdylan (Comment 71) :
Any idea if they will be auctioning off the jerseys? Making extras?
@KSA Shark © (Comment 68) : You like pink then….I’m sure you’ll look great in pink. 😈
@Pokkel (Comment 74) :
You’d never be able to squash me flat enough to fit next to a framed jersey. 😆
Pink with a white stripe would look awesome. 😉
@KSA Shark © (Comment 75) : 😉
@robdylan (Comment 60) :
Is that the reason for Monty doesnt like you??
@wpw (Comment 78) :
It IS another reason for me to dislike Monty.
Shame monty must have such a shit time, spending all his time playing for the Sharks while his agent detests them with a passion.
His agent is a bloody agent.!!!!!!!!
