Lions v Sharks = Craig Joubert
Last week the Lions struggled without Berry, expecting more of the same.
This Shark side is miles better than the 2014 Crusaders.
Sharks for a comfortable victory
Ja, Joubert has an itchy arm on the opposite side to which the Lions play. Just remember, the Sharks will be coming off a bye, so that will be a factor.
@ Lion4ever:
Remember Peyper from the first match? thought the Lions complained afterward?
The Lions may fancy their chances at Ellis but having Jantjies in the squad may doom them again
