RECAP: Sharks v Stormers

READERS' FORUM: Welcome to our coverage of the Super Rugby Round Seven encounter between the Sharks and Stormers at Kings Park.

Sharks No.8 Sikhumbuzo Notshe has cautioned his teammates against complacency ahead of their crucial all-South African derby against the Stormers in Durban.

Not only are the Stormers missing three injured Springbok forwards, but the teams have had some very contrasting fortunes in recent weeks.

The Sharks are coming off an impressive 33-19 win over the Jaguares, while the Stormers had a bye in Round Six after losing 14-33 to the Blues at Newlands the week before.
