Connacht centre Tom Farrell focused on midfield duel against in-form Cell C Sharks

The Cell C Sharks may have sent a second-string side to Galway for Saturday's game with Connacht but Tom Farrell knows they still have plenty of bite in their midfield.

In Rohan Janse van Rensburg the Sharks possess one of the in-form centres in the BKT United Rugby Championship. The once-capped Springbok scored two tries in last weekend's win over the Vodacom Bulls, having helped create three in the previous round against the Emirates Lions.

"He's a quality player, dynamic, fast, very powerful," said Farrell, who starts at outside centre for Connacht.

"I think I might have played against him a couple of years ago when he was with Sale Sharks. He was quite a handful that day so we’ll have to be on our A game in defence."

Slick hands. Explosive power.
