Joubert starts for Sharks
22 Aug 2012
Marius Joubert gets a rare start for the Sharks in their Currie Cup match against the Bulls at Loftus.
Meyer Bosman has failed to recover from injury, which hands the former Springbok midfielder his chance. In other changes hooker young Monde Hadebe runs on in the absence of Craig Burden, with U21 player Franco Marais covering on the bench.
Brynard Stander will earn his first cap for The Sharks should he play off the bench.

It seems Deon Fourie could be off the Toulon
22 Aug 2012, 18:11 pm
Western Province captain Deon Fourie has been offered a contract by Toulon and expects to join the French Top14 club after the Currie Cup.
The dynamic hooker confirmed to this website in an exclusive interview that although he has not signed anything yet, Western Province coach Allister Coetzee knows that he is likely to leave at the end of the year.
“It is still depending on what is going on so I am not going to confirm anything yet.
“Allister [Coetzee] knows that I have had an offer, but I am still focused on the Currie Cup, I am still here until the end of October,” said Fourie.
The hard-working front row forward showed his versatility this season by standing in at flank and No.8 for the Stormers during their Super Rugby campaign, a factor which makes him an attractive prospect to overseas clubs.
Fourie admitted that having played professional rugby in South Africa for eight years he is keen to expand his horizons, and if all goes well he expects to be training with Bakkies Botha, Jonny Wilkinson, Matt Giteau and Joe van Niekerk in France by the end of the year.
“It will be nice, something different. I have been here for eight years now so maybe it is time to move in a new direction,” he said.

This is such bullsh*t Marius Joubert is the quintessential example of a has bee.n paycheck player.What does he offer really? Wandile Mjekevu should be at 13 Jordaan at 12, Heimar Williams is also a better player than Joubert
Lubabalo Mthembu also better than Kleyhans
Nice to see Breinhardt Stander finally realize his boundless potential,freak athlete.played in Westville 1st XV at 15 years old.As a loosie he was around 90kgs then.Big,strong and fast. Bit of a loskop for a while but at only 22 he has pulled himself together
Interesting that Rudi Paige has moved to Bulls from Lions
Have your say
