Touring Squad<\/a>: <\/p>\n

Following the Cell C Sharks dramatic 12-9 victory over the DHL Stormers on Saturday, Head Coach Robert du Preez has selected a 27-man squad for this coming weekend\u2019s Vodacom Super Rugby quarter-final clash with the Brumbies in Canberra.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The team departed for Australia on Sunday evening without Beast Mtawarira who will not make the trip after his withdrawal with a knee niggle from the Stormers match. Philip van der Walt and Jean-Luc du Preez have also not yet been passed fit to play, although Craig Burden has been included after picking up a hamstring tweak that ruled him out of Saturday\u2019s match. Further good news is the inclusion of Curwin Bosch who also missed the Stormers game but is now fully fit.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Stormers are a fantastic side and the game could have gone either way,\u201d said Robert du Preez following the team\u2019s win that secured a top eight finish and a place in the play-offs in a drama-filled final weekend of Vodacom Super Rugby action.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe game was in the balance all the way to the final hooter, but I thought the character the boys showed was tremendous and that vindicated everything this team is about on attack and defence.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were dominant the whole game and scored two tries. But rugby is a cruel game, a game of moments.\u201d<\/p>\n
