AJ VENTER IN SHARKS SQUAD

CONTROVERSIAL number eight AJ Venter, still caught in contractual wrangles with the Cats that may end in court, has been included in the Sharks Super 12 team to play Border in a pre-season friendly on Saturday. Venter will scrum down with other loosies Wayne Fyvie (captaining the Sharks) and Charl van Rensburg. Justin Swart is at fullback, Deon Kayser and Stefan Terblanche on the wings and Pieter Muller with talented youngster Trevor Halstead at centre. Gaffie du Toit is at flyhalf outside the exciting scrumhalf Craig Davidson.
