Daniel named Currie Cup skipper
Keegan Daniel has been named Cell C Sharks captain for the Absa Currie Cup season. No current Springboks have been included in the Sharks squad at this stage.
This means there is no Coenie Oosthuizen, Lwazi Mvovo, Patrick Lambie or Tendai Mtawarira in the mix.
This could change if those players are not picked for the Rugby Championship campaign.
Players who are in the Sharks squad include Lukhanyo Am, Curwin Bosch, Jean Deysel, Tera Mtembu, Innocent Radebe and both Du Preez brothers.
The Sharks squad reads as follows:
Forwards - Chiliboy Ralepelle, Dale Chadwick, Daniel du Preez, Etienne Oosthuizen, Franco Marais, Francois Kleynhans, Hyron Andrews, JC Astle, Jean Deysel, Jean Droste, Jean-Luc Du Preez, Johan du Toit, John-Hubert Meyer, Juan Schoeman, Keegan Daniel (captain), Khaya Majola, Lourens Adriaanse, Philip van der Walt, Ruan Botha, Stephan Coetzee, Stephan Lewies, Tera Mtembu, Thomas du Toit.
Backs - Andre Esterhuizen, Bernard Janse van Rensburg, Curwin Bosch, Garth April, Hanco Venter, Heimar Williams, Inny Radebe, Lukhanyo Am, Marius Louw, Michael Claassens, Morne Joubert, Neil Maritz, Odwa Ndungane, S’bura Sithole, Sibusiso Nkosi, Stefan Ungerer, Wandile Mjekevu.
The Sharks have an Absa Currie Cup date in Nelspruit this Friday night.
The Sharks will face the Pumas in a match set to start at 19h20.
More rugby news is that the Castle Murray Cup quarter-finals have been decided.
UKZN Impi defeated Jaguars 22-15, Durban Collegians edged College Rovers 23-21 and Toti beat Crusaders 31-17.
