Vincent Koch

...

they, they, they com- they, like, they f- obviously they had been dominated up to that point, but Andrew Porter just got Vincent Koch the right way.

Scrum collapses right down on the Sharks side, and it's just called for a reset.

And you can see Rohan Keller actually gets a bit of a telling off from, from the referee at the time, because, like, he's just apoplectic that they've had to work so hard to, to finally get this nudge up, and then all of a sudden it comes back, and I think Sharks actually score a, a try off the, the resulting scrum anyway.

They had Thomas du Toit at tighthead, moved to loosehead.

They had Vincent Koch at tighthead.

They had Ox Nche on the bench.

Leinster had an all-international front row of Porter, of Kelleher, of Clarkson, who ended up getting sin-binned.

I may have been the one actually fighting and Ben was just there to be quite honest.

I reckoned that the Leinster scrum was getting popped and they were under severe pressure and it was a poor performance against Thomas Dutoy and Vincent Koch.

Who were two brilliant scrummagers.

You did not see it that way.

Um, yeah, but Thomas du Toit starts at, at, at lucid, did, uh, did quite well.

Alan Sa'ava and Vincent Koch on the other side.

Um- I tied it.

Um, Jenkins thought Daryn Lansberg played the whole game.

I can't wait to see what we will be able to produce further on to this year.

I'm just happy to see Vincent Koch in a good shape again.

Yeah, I mean, well-

[laughs]

But it's great to see him back, great to see him back in form.

Um, and, uh, we wanna see him play out throughout the entire season, make a con- contribution, uh, add value to the Shark outfit, uh, to the scrums, to the lineouts, uh, just bring all that experience.

So from the youngsters, Vusi Moyo and the boys playing well to the older, the older heads, Vincent Koch, and yourself and Bongi, that's also needs to get back into that team ASAP.

It's, it's gonna be so important.

It's still Damian Willemse.

It's Vincent Koch, Ed Schatz.

Mm.

But when's South Africa?

And I love all the little comments that have been written.

Well, rather testimonials, I will call them from coaches, your coaches, previous coaches and your friends, your closest friends, Malcolm Marks and obviously Vincent Koch, who was part of the bomb squad with you.

But there's a consistent message that comes through is that, you know, dependable, reliable, someone you can count on, someone who is always never fearful of a big challenge, always prepares as well as you could possibly do.

It didn't matter whether it was a World Cup final or if it was the opening game of a URC for the Stormers.

The Sharks came out and named a 67-man squad.

And then we've got Cub Captain, Vincent Koch, Captain Captain, Andre Estes, and co-captain this one and co-captain that one.

The branding change, all of this.

I'm very worried that the Sharks are stepping further and further away from their identity.
