The Sharks, still rooted at the bottom of the United Rugby Championship standings, face a front row crisis.

The Sharks slipped to an 18-20 loss to the Lions in a Round Eight catch-up match in Duran on Saturday – with Boeta Chamberlain having missed a last-gasp penalty.

Lions captain Marius Louw scored a 78th-minute maul try – converted by flyhalf-cum-scrumhalf Sanele Nohamba – to leave the Durban-based Sharks with just one win from nine starts.

      WATCH as Sharks coach John Plumtree explains to @king365ed the real reason behind his decision sign Kiwi power lifter Joel Hintz

      Having already ‘imported’ a tighthead prop from New Zealand, Sharks coach John Plumtree confirmed that another front row forward suffered an injury.

      “Hanro Jacobs appears to have damaged his AC [shoulder] joint,” Plumtree told @rugby365com, adding: “I’m not sure what that looks like.

      “It is an issue, having lost another prop.”

      New Zealand import Joel Hintz, who played off the bench in the 15-16 loss to the Stormers the previous week, came off the bench to replace the injured Jacobs in the second half in the loss to the Lions at the weekend.

      World Cup-winning Springbok Vincent Koch is another five or six weeks away from a full recovery, having suffered a knee injury in the World Cup in France in October.

      Fellow Bok Coenie Oosthuizen also missed the encounter with the Lions at the weekend with an undisclosed injury and Plumtree gave no indication when he will be back.

      That leaves the Sharks with a front row predicament ahead of the visit by French club Oyonnax for a Challenge Cup Round Three encounter this coming Saturday.

      “We don’t seem to get one-weekers,” Plumtree said of the run of front row injuries, adding: “We seem to be getting five or six-weekers.

      “Hopefully he [Jacobs] will recover quickly.”

      Other players who were not available for selection this past weekend due to injury included Bongi Mbonambi, Dylan Richardson, Reniel Hugo, Le Roux Roets and Vincent Tshituka.

      Can 'great' Gibson-Park best 'freakish' Dupont in scrum-half clash for the ages?

      ARE YOU A VICTIM OF INVESTMENT OR BITCOIN SCAM? Visit FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY FOR HELP.


      Living in Vancouver, I was once a victim of a devastating crypto scam that nearly destroyed my financial life. I had invested SGD 29,000 into a platform that promised high returns. It seemed like a great opportunity at first, but I soon realized it was a fraud. The scammers convinced me that I needed to pay a withdrawal fee to access my funds. Desperate to recover my money, I complied and sent the payment. However, once I paid the withdrawal fee, everything changed. The scammer blocked me completely, and I couldn’t reach them. My funds were gone, and I was left with nothing. The loss of such a large sum was incredibly traumatic, especially since it caused a significant breakdown in my relationship with my husband. The financial strain was overwhelming, and I didn’t know where to turn. For months, I searched desperately for help, hoping to recover my lost money. I reached out to several recovery services, but most of them seemed to offer little more than empty promises. Just when I was starting to lose hope, I found Folkwin Expert Recovery. Their team stood out from the rest professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping me. Folkwin Expert Recovery took the time to understand my situation. They carefully listened to the details of the scam and immediately began working on a recovery plan. Although the process wasn’t easy, their expertise and persistence paid off. After some time, they successfully tracked down the scammer and recovered the full SGD 29,000 that I had lost. The relief I felt was indescribable, and it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I can’t express enough how grateful I am to Folkwin Expert Recovery for their hard work. They went above and beyond to ensure I got my money back, and their efforts not only restored my finances but also my peace of mind. If you’re in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to them. Via What's app:+1 (740)705-0711, Or email: Folkwinexpertrecovery(@)tech-center(.)com for assistance, They made all the difference in my recovery journey, and I’m forever grateful for their support.

      Warm greetings,

      Hello everyone here, I am here to warn you to please do not make the same mistake I made in the past, I was a victim of a bitcoin scam. I’m so glad that I have gotten all my funds back without any stress thanks to CYBERSPACE HACK PRO company. For me. I am posting this review because I want to be of help to someone out there going through a lot to recover their bitcoin even though many people told me it’s impossible. I invested about $632,000 from a Binary Operation company I found on Telegram. After much depositing, I decided to withdraw after several weeks but the withdrawal wasn’t successful. I contacted the binary operation through their email and phone number, though I didn’t get any response from them and that was when everything clicked that I was scammed. Some weeks later I got an email from them insisting I should invest more money if I want to withdraw my money which I rejected, and I never heard from them again. I was really devastated at this moment and felt so bad that my hard earned money was gone. Then I was introduced to this wonderful recovery company Called CYBER SPACE HACK PRO company, so I emailed them Cyberspacehackpro(@)rescueteam.com explained to them what happened and all I had to do was to follow there instructions so they can help me recover my funds which they did and i got all my money back i am so happy i decided to share my good news for those that are having same issues should contact them via
