Siya Kolisi, Eben Etzebeth, Ox Nche Among Sharks Playing Vs. Munster Rugby
It will be a star-studded lineup for the Hollywoodbets Sharks, who are set to take on last year's table winner, Munster Rugby, in Durban, South Africa.
It’s Plumtree vs. Rowntree, as two of the league’s most experienced coaches go head to head in Durban in the Hollywoodbets Sharks vs. Munster Rugby match at 10 a.m. ET on Oct. 26.
Sharks boss John Plumtree has named a star-studded side featuring the likes of Siya Kolisi, Eben Etzebeth, Ox Nche, Lukhanyo Am, Makazole Mapimpi, Bongi Mbonambi and Grant Williams, with World Cup-winning Springboks skipper Kolisi shifting across to No. 8 after his try-scoring display from the flank against Glasgow last weekend.

On that switch, Plumtree said: “I see it as an opportunity for him to run with the ball, and we know he loves that. It’s a position I’m keen to see how he goes in. It could free up more of his running game.”
Turning to Munster, which was beaten by the Stormers last weekend, he said: “They are a very proud club. They’ve come on tour and lost their first game, so they’ll be looking for a response. They’re physical, very tough up front and a team that plays a lot of rugby. It’s another really big test for us.”
Giving his thoughts, Munster coach Graham Rowntree said: “It’s a big game. It’s pretty much a Springboks pack waiting for us in the heat in Durban. What gives me comfort is we’ve done it before.”
As for how they respond to having lost three of their opening five league fixtures, amid a number of injuries, he says: “You’ve got to roll your sleeves up. You’ve got to roll with the punches. You get on with it and you test your squad depth.”
