Head coach John Dobson is wary of the “threat” posed to the DHL Stormers from the Sharks under the guidance of wily tactician John Plumtree next season.
Plumtree takes the reins as Sharks head coach from 1 July, returning to Durban after his successful first stint. In 2008, he helped secure the Sharks’ first Currie Cup title since 1996, and they lifted the trophy again in 2010. In 2012, the Sharks progressed to the Super Rugby final, and reached the Currie Cup final.
“You’ve got to understand the DNA of your region … how they play their rugby, the whole culture,” the Stormers boss said. “I think Plum does that.“It’s what has been missing from the Sharks for, jeepers … maybe 10 or even more years? Perhaps since he left the last time. “I suspect there’s been damage; quite a lot of building work to do. There have been lots of comings and goings there player-wise.
