Sharks coach Pietersen backs Edwill and Ethan to combat Stormers’ aerial threat
Sharks coach JP Pietersen has backed Springboks Edwill van der Merwe and Ethan Hooker to combat the significant aerial threat of the Stormers’ back three when the teams collide in their United Rugby Championship (URC) coastal derby at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday afternoon (kick-off 4pm).
The Stormers have thrown Bok star Damian Willemse straight back into the action at fullback for the massive match, while they also boast experienced veterans Seabelo Senatla and Leolin Zas out wide who will also play a large role in the aerial battle.“We wanted to ease him back into playing [after his injury], which we did, and it’s good to see that he can go through three weeks of training,” explained Pietersen.
