The Sharks will make a big mistake if they think Western Province are just one-trick ponies, warns lock Ruben van Heerden.
With the Province pack comprising a klomp Springboks, the 23-year-old Sharks lock believes their hosts in Saturday’s Currie Cup semifinal will be a threat all over the park.
He says: “They [WP] have a very strong set-piece, lineouts, scrum-time mauling, so we know what to expect from that side of the game. We are very well-prepared and looking forward to the challenge.”
He adds: “I certainly don’t believe that they are one-trick ponies, they’re a very good team. But they do have certain strengths that they go to and they do that really well.
“But if we are able to take their strong points away from them, we’ll find out on Saturday what else they bring.”
