Sharks mentor Gary Gold seems to believe his team will see off the Sunwolves on Friday, especially as he is focusing on the readiness of his key players for a potential Super rugby quarterfinal against either the Lions, Chiefs or Crusaders. Gold has no control over who he faces on the weekend of July 22-23, with the Lions taking a weakened squad to Buenos Aires for Saturday's date with the Jaguares.The Crusaders host the Hurricanes early and the Highlanders versus the Chiefs match in Dunedin follows suit.The Sharks will only know on Sunday morning who they face the following weekend, which gives Gold lots of confidence for longer recovery periods for Pat Lambie and Willie le Roux.Tendai "Beast" Mtawarira will also be taking a break this weekend.But Gold is not taking the Sunwolves lightly, despite their 50-3 grilling against the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld."We've planned accordingly for the two scenarios that may occur at the end of this weekend, but we'll know when we'll travel. At least we have peace of mind knowing how the start of our week will be."We need certainty, regardless of what the results will be," Gold said."We were poor against the Lions and there were signs of life against the Cheetahs, but we need to put together something clinical against the Sunwolves on Friday."T heir home record is admirable for first-timers. South African teams struggle against them. We need to come out of this game with confidence on many aspects," he said.The Springboks' shock loss to Japan in last year's Rugby World Cup weighed heavily on Gold's mind in terms of how they need to approach Mark Hammett's side."If you get into that touch rugby game, not stick to your structures, think they're not defensively strong and also discount the fact they have defensively strong players, you may be in trouble."Luckily, I've seen those players in Japan and at international level."It's going to be a nerve-racking game," Gold said...
