DYLAN JACK identifies outstanding South African players based on their performances in the fifth round of Super Rugby Unlocked.
The Sharks battled the seasonal humidity of Durban and scored a late try to beat the Cheetahs 19-13 on Friday night. On Saturday, the Stormers managed to rediscover their offensive advantage by scoring six attempts to claim a 39-6 victory over Griquas at Kimberley. Meanwhile, the Vodacom Bulls fought back after a poor first half to win the Gauteng derby against the Lions 30-25 after a greatly improved second-half performance in Johannesburg.
Warrick Gelant and Angelo Davids, who was making his Stormers debut, are two of three Stormers players on this week’s squad after both players made the most of the space they were given against Griquas. Juarno Augustus is also included after finding his best form and pulling off a typically bullish performance at No. 8.
There are four Lions players on the team, three from the group that dominated the Bulls in the first half, while Wandisile Simelane retains his place from last week after another good performance, where he beat 10 defenders and scored a wonderful solo try off. a counterattack against the Bulls.
