The Kings have named a team to face the Sharks this weekend containing five changes from the unit that went down to the Stormers in their previous fixture. Flyhalf Lionel Cronje, a man who is no stranger to Durban having played for the Sharks in Super Rugby two years ago, will spearhead the challenge and look to get one over younger rival Ben Janse van Rensburg.

How do the Sharks go about salvaging something from a 2015 season that has, frankly, been nothing short of a disaster? With the benefit of a bye week (and the opportunity to take stock) followed by a tough tour on which nobody should rightly expect them to pick up any wins, could this be the opportunity for the Sharks to start making some sensible decisions?

A long way back

The Sharks team named to face the Cheetahs on Saturday contains an interesting mix of players, with a number of rather “senior” debutants in the mix. One player, in particular, will look at a rather unique record – that of the longest break between appearances in Super Rugby. […]
