Sharks wait on Bok prop

Sharks wait on Bok prop

23 Oct 2012

The Sharks will know on Thursday whether Springbok tighthead Jannie du Plessis is available to play in Saturday’s Currie Cup final.

Du Plessis clashed heads with team-mate Anton Bresler in last week’s semi-final at Kings Park. Following this blow, Du Plessis left the field and played no further part in the contest.

While initial reports suggested that the Sharks sustained no serious injuries from that semi-final, it’s believed that the decision on Du Plessis’s availability will only be made on Thursday. If the Bok prop is not cleared, Wiehahn Herbst is likely to start in his place.

    Be smart, give the game a miss.
    Sharks should win irrespective, and you can enjoy a little rest before EOYT

    ya dont think the sharks will lose too much by him not being there.
    cant help but feel that herbst is very underrated. solid in the scrum, good defender, hardly ever does any wrong..

    and Herbst has amazing handling skills for a tight-head
