There’s been a bit of a hiccough from Sharks HQ this week, with no junior team announcements made.
We’ve managed to get our hands on the under 19 lineup and Richard will update with the under 21 lineup once he gets to the stadium. Let’s hope they’ve at least included them in the match program!
Both sides takes on the Cheetahs at Kings Park today.

@Richard Ferguson (Comment 4) : I was actually just fishing for a score for that game as the under 21s are about to kick off.
U19’s lost 23 – 10.. (unconfirmed)
Where’s Heimar?
@robdylan (Comment 9) :
He has run onto the field.. so the programme must be incorrect..
Heimar in the 12 jersey..
I don’t see Jordaan on the park.. so he must be either on the bench or played for the U19s..
Penalty to the Cheetahs.. Nico Scheepers the fullback stroking it through the poles.
Sharks 0 – 3 Cheetahs..
@robdylan:glad to see schoonbee in the team.hope he has an injury free season.

@robdylan (Comment 27) :
But he has played for Russia Rob?
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 29) : correct
Lots of people and communities were moved around all over the former soviet union.russian,ukranian?reason I thought lithuanian was beeacause of a strongman legend zydrunas zavickas- navickas(-ckas at end of name).but there is another country/countries with huge athletes..!don’t the lithuanian team hold the world record for most undefeated test matches??remember something like that on world of rugby last year..?
