For me, the 8-9-10-12 axis is important too, so I'd like to see:
Dombrandt
Danny
Marcus
Esterhuizen

That's an interesting position to take when we're playing a team
who are used to hard dry grounds.
They might not like the cold. 😁

I went to the Stoop
On a winter’s day
And stopped in to a bar
I found along the way
I watched the Quins warm up
And then begin to play
You know the Sharks don’t like the cold
The Quins are gonna play
Round of 16 Dreamin’
On such a winter’s day

To be fair, they've played in the URC including trips to the UK
in winter since 2021, so the fabled "they're not used to the
cold wet winters" isn't strictly true

Even before that, wouldn’t they have gone to places like Dunedin
which is hardly balmy in winter.

If the round of 16 is two legged why is there mention made of
home advantage at the foot of this list?
