Super Rugby 2018: Brumbies v Sharks
Last year it took an injury-time try from awesome Lukhayno Am to seal victory for the Sharks over the Brumbies in Canberra. […]
Was this the same team?
I think it was pretty clear, even from the first kick-off, that the Sharks were determined to play a little differently against the Brumbies than they had against the Reds.

Much was my surprise to see the opening play from the Sharks in Canberra move all the way across the field and back, encompassing around 12 passes before eventually breaking down. […]

Time to try something different
The Sharks face a tricky away encounter against Free State in the Currie Cup this weekend and while I’m not often one to make bold predictions ahead of a game, let me err from that strategy this week and put this very clearly: if the Sharks play Riaan Viljoen at flyhalf this weekend, they will lose.
