Why? Both van Wyk and Mapimpi have proved themselves, Nkosi still has to

Van Wyk's defence is awful.

What will be interesting though is to see how the Sharks changed their game since RdP Snr was instructed by his bosses to coach them to play more attractive rugby. I suspect the Sharks' defence is going to suffer compared to last year and that they're going to leak more tries. Happened to the stormers last year and initially to the Lions when they got back into SR. (previously the Lions defence was just plain kak - got it in first )

Bosch will cover any missed tackles van Wyk lets through.

The complete team

Here's a video of Nkosi, passing, offloading breaking the line and breaking tackles

The clip mainly shows his SA Schools tries when he was relatively strong against kids, some CC tries mainly against Griquas and Pumas and SR tries against the Sunwolves (who let in 96 tries) and the Stormers (who let in 61 tries). He isn't the "Junior Lomu" anymore, according to the Sharks web site he's about the same size as when he played for the Junior Boks two years ago - 1.82m and 97kg - not exceptional for a wing anymore.

I hope he can live up to the hype but if I was a Sharks fan I would go with van Wyk

but he does pass, offload, break the line and break tackles in the video, doesn't he?

15 Andries Coetzee, 14 Sylvian Mahuza, 11 Lionel Mapoe

Seriously Jens, we've got plenty of mediocre players to pick on. This is one of the best up and coming players in SA that most people wanted to see in a Bok jersey.

But according to you he should not even be playing professional rugby as he is incapable of the most simple of tasks expected of winger.

Wouldn't swap any of these for Sbu Nkosi.

So, none of the potential starting Lions back three - a combination of the unwanted, unknown, and overrated - would even make the Sharks bench.

Yep, that's why he was #10 in Linebreaks and #3 in Tackle breaks in SR last year

But that was in school rugby and against sides like the Kings and Stormers

It only looks like that because posting and interest in this thread is as bad as CP. A couple of posts a day.

I am not interested in the Lions at all beyond the points against

The Sharks' new assistant coach, former Springbok assistant coach Dick Muir, believes the Lions will target their back three in the rarified air of Johannesburg in the season opener.

That is why the experience and aerial skills of seasoned Springbok Lwazi Mvovo will come in handy at Ellis Park.

Muir admitted it will be a "difficult choice" between Mvovo and Garth April for the fullback starting berth.

"Lwazi is very good under the high ball and he has been working hard on his kicking game," Muir told a media briefing in Durban, as the Sharks stepped up their preparations for Round One.

"The balance is what is really important here - particularly [amongst] the back three," Muir added.

"I think the Lions will look to target us from a kicking perspective, which will be good."

Interesting. Not sure why he thinks the Lions will kick more though
