Gold: Resting Bok duo not ideal

Cape Town - Sharks Director of Rugby Gary Gold is not overly pleased with the fact that he has to rest two of his Springboks for Saturday’s Super Rugby clash against the Lions in Johannesburg.

Props Jannie du Plessis and Beast Mtawarira are rested in line with an agreement with the South African Rugby Union (SARU) to rest top Springboks for parts of the competition.

“The timing is certainly not ideal, and I want to make that very clear,” Gold told Netwerk24.
