John Plumtree - Eben Etzebeth

--:--

The Sharks will have to make do without the highly experienced Springbok lock, Eben Etzebeth, for tomorrow’s big United Rugby Championship semi-final against the Bulls in Pretoria.
The most capped Springbok of all time has been ruled out of the knockout clash after picking up an injury during training earlier in the week.
Corné Rahl will start in the second-row for the match.
Coach John Plumtree said they decided not to risk Etzebeth especially with a possible semi-final looming.
