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.

Sharks take the spoils in fitting farewell to Smit

With Friday night’s festival atmosphere at Kings Park dominating proceedings, John Smit’s “Barney’s Army” invitational XV battled to contain a young Sharks outfit, with John Plumtree-s Currie Cup-strength selection prevailing 47-21.
