Sanele Nohamba’s bones rattled by massive Angelo Davids hit

Sikhumbuzo Notshe is set to be in Sanele Nohamba’s debt for the foreseeable future after a woeful hospital pass from the number 8 gave Western Province winger Angelo Davids the opportunity to line the Sharks scrumhalf up for a shuddering hit.

Nohamba’s entire body was elevated off the ground in an attempt to recover Notshe’s less than desirable service when Davids’ shoulder thundered into his midriff.

Naturally, the diminutive scrumhalf was slow to rise, but showed good strength of character to continue playing after a hit which could easily have cost him a few ribs.

The Sharks triumphed 19-9 over their West Coast rivals and will now begin preparations for the final in Pretoria against Jake White’s Bulls.
