VODACOM SUPER RUGBY

Cell C Sharks vs. Vodacom Bulls

Date: Friday, 31 January 2020

Time: 19h10

Venue: Jonsson Kings Park, Durban

Centre Lukhanyo Am leads an exciting Cell C Sharks’ team in their opening Vodacom
Super Rugby clash with the Vodacom Bulls at Jonsson Kings Park on Friday evening.

The team closely resembles the starting line-up that took on the Stormers in the Superhero
Sunday preseason warm-up match, with a number of players set to make their debut in the
black and white jersey.

Making their run-on debuts are three forwards, loosehead prop Ox Nche, flank James
Venter and eighthman Sikumbuzo Notshe, who all made the move to Durban late last year.
Le Roux Roets (lock) and Henco Venter (loose forward) – also new signings – together with
local talents who performed in last year’s Currie Cup, scrumhalf Sanele Nohamba and
flyhalf Boeta Chamberlain, play off the bench.

“There’s a strong vibe in the camp and we’re all looking forward to Super Rugby kicking off,”
Cell C Sharks flyhalf Curwin Bosch admits.

With Bosch settled in the number 10 jersey, he recognises this as an opportunity to
entrench himself. “For me to grow in confidence at 10, I need game time there, that’s how a
player gets better and I’m really looking forward to it.”

Opposite him is 35-year-old Springbok Morne Steyn who returns to Pretoria after a stint of
French rugby and Bosch admits that Steyn will be an important factor for the men in blue.

“Morne brings a lot of experience to his side, they’ve lost quite a few players overseas and
because he’s such a good kicker, we know our discipline and game management need to
be really sharp this weekend.

“But we’re going into this weekend’s game with a plan and if we stick to it, we should be
successful.”
