Willem alberts
Pieter-Steph du Toit
Springboks Pieter-Steph du Toit and Willem Alberts are back training with the Sharks after long injury layoffs.
Lock Du Toit missed much of last season with a serious knee injury, while loose forward Alberts was laid low after a back operation last July.
The duo are back in training as the Sharks start their preparations for this year’s Super Rugby competition. Both have been training well and showed no discomfort from the injuries.
There was however less good news for lock Stephan Lewies, who will reportedly remain sidelined with injury for an extended period.

With Director of Rugby Gary Gold still tied up with commitments in Japan, former coach Brendan Venter has taken charge of training in the interim, along with the rest of the coaching team of Brad MacLeod-Henderson, Sean Everitt and Paul Anthony.
The Sharks will start their pre-season with a training game against a team made up of various Durban clubs in two weeks, before heading overseas to face the French and European champions, Toulon on 5 February.
They start their Super Rugby campaign at home against the Cheetahs on 14 February.
Faf is absolutely spent… must be for himself though and not for the team…
Great innings by Faf, highest score by a South African, also missed the fastest 100 record by 1 ball.
Faf now on 119… and perishes as the highest EVER Proteas batsman score from a T20 game.
Faf du Plessis 119 off 56 balls!
Scoring rate of well over 200%
Take a bow, Faf
3 balls
Come on Wiese, get to 242
Wiese hits a 6 and is out the next ball.
Only 4 balls to be bowled in the SA innings
I don’t think the Windies has bowled all too poorly, this is a unbelievable batting track and it is going to come right down to the wire in the end.
Proteas end the 20 Overs on 231 / 7, Abbott also run out on the last ball.
So, Faf’s 119 is more than HALF of the total Proteas score… who would have thunk THAT!
Big score to defend, but anything can happen with these Windies batsmen!
Does Far read R-T?
Grrrrrr…..
Faf
Charl blew the SA Open over the back 9.
Let the unknown pom Andy Sullivan in to win it on the first play off hole with a brilliant birdie.
Wicketttttt
Smith out!
@ Charo:
You can call him Fab du plessis.
Hey, cencorship?
congratulations Faf… excellent knock… well done…!!
also great hitting from David… wonder how long his hit out the ground was…?
Now Chris Gayle doing the business for the Windies again.
Poor poor over Abott
Faf in his self designed cricket shirt.
Lmfao
😆
Gayle 51 off 21 deliveries, already
Jeeez, Gayle just stands and delivers!
Brutal gayle
Gayle out eventually for 90 off 41 balls
Another wicket… Samuals…
THAT was desperately needed
Pollard GONE!
2 Big wickets by Wiese in the over
Russell also out… it’s tight towards the end here
Another wicket falls…. Bravo it is
YES!
Tons of full tosses from abott 🙄
