Cell C Shark coach Joey Mongalo has gone to the tried and tested as the Currie Cup semi-final looms large this weekend.
A second place finish after the 14 week pool stages has ensured a home semi-final at Hollywoodbets Kings Park this Saturday against the Airlink Pumas.
Last year’s champions, the Airlink Pumas, will come to Durban planning big things, their third place finish proof of their prowess this season.
However, they are up against a Cell C Shark team that has been together all campaign and formed a formidable head of steam as the tournament headed for the knockout stages.
Reniel Hugo continues his impressive leadership as he captains a side markedly different to last week’s team.
He and his teammates were given a much-needed rest and now return to action in front of a passionate home crowd.
Saturday’s semi-final clash at Hollywoodbets Kings Park kicks off at 5.30pm.

Quick Durban KwaZulu-Natal Fact: Cato Manor in Durban once attracted attention from around the world because it was where rioting broke out in 1959 in protest against the city’s beerhalls and the looming prospect of mass forced removals in which the residents would be uprooted from their homes in terms of the notorious Group Areas Act, and resettled in townships. The area was granted to George Christopher Cato in 1865, perhaps as a reward for his years of community service and for the fact that, in 1854, he had become Durban’s first Mayor. The land was sub-divided in the early 1900s and leased to Indian market gardeners, many of whom were either former indentured labourers, who had come to South Africa to work on the sugar plantations, or their descendents.
