Not even the most optimistic Sharks fan should have anticipated this would be their year and five straight defeats hammers home that fact. Gavin Rich writes for SuperSport.
"Complicated is a good word to describe some of the arrangements at the Sharks. The Sharks have denied reports of a rift in the camp, but it is hard to imagine the players involved in the selection musical chairs being enacted in the front-row to accommodate John Smit and at the same time satisfy the ambitions of the Du Plessis brothers would be doing cartwheels of joy.
"But regardless of the veracity or otherwise of these reports, it maybe needs to be recognised that this was probably always going to be a year where there would be a blip. There just isn’t the backline depth there used to be, the outflow of players has not matched the inflow. The confusion over flyhalf has certainly not been helped by the loss of two class inside centres in Steyn and Barritt."
